Body of Message: Hi, Nancy

Your post is pretty old, but I was doing my own research on the O'Brien Electric Priming Company (2001 W. Washington St., South Bend), which is listed on the National Registry. The company was founded by Patrick O'Brien, and was built in 1890. Charles Brehmer built Patrick O'Brien's home.

According to the "Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory: Summary Report, Vol. 1"***, pp. 29-30:

"Charles A. Brehmer (1860-1909) South Bend

Charles Brehmer, one of the earliest professional architects to practice in South Bend, is best known for his designs of Victorian style houses and fire stations. He was born in Glencoe, Illinois, and raised in Bay City, Michigan. He attended the University of Notre Dame where he studied architecture and engineering. After graduation he returned to Bay City for two years to work as an architectural draftsman. In 1884 he came back to South Bend and established his own practice.

Many of Brehmer's important early houses in downtown South Bend have been demolished. Such as the Frank Mayr house on S. Lafayette Boulevard and the Pat O'Brien house on W. Washington Street. Three fire stations designed by Brehmer still remain [as of 1982 when this book was published], -- Hose Company's No's 3, 6, and 7. In Benton Harbor, Michigan, he designed the Arlington Hotel.

Title: Uniroyal Technology to Sell Its Specialty Adhesives Unit in South Bend, Ind.

Uniroyal Technology to Sell Its Specialty Adhesives Unit in South Bend, Ind.

Aug. 15--SOUTH BEND, Ind.--The last manufacturing operation bearing the Uniroyal name here is likely to soon have a new name, along with a new owner.

But the Uniroyal remnant and its 85 jobs will remain in South Bend, according to James Elgin, branch manager of the Specialty Adhesives unit of Uniroyal Technology Corp.

Uniroyal Technology, which is based in Sarasota, Fla., said it plans to sell its Specialty Adhesives segment, which is based in South Bend.

Uniroyal Technology said it expects proceeds of $25 million from the sale, which is expected to be completed in September. Further details about the sale, including the potential buyer, were not disclosed.

James Elgin, manager of Specialty Adhesives, said the impending new owner of the South Bend unit intends to keep it here and expand the operation.

He said Uniroyal Technology's top officials asked him to come up with a list of potential buyers for the South Bend operation during discussions concerning a potential sale.

"They have selected my first choice, which is a financial buyer, which means our staff would remain in place. They (the potential new owner) are calling us a platform company for future growth," said Elgin. "I see it as positive for South Bend and our employees."

He said Uniroyal Technology decided to sell the adhesives unit in order to devote resources to its growing electronics operations which includes making semiconductors and light-emitting diodes.

"It is time for them to sell us because they are going heavier into the semiconductor business. The funds from our sale will help finance that," said Elgin.

Uniroyal Technology's adhesives unit moved in 1998 from Mishawaka to the former O'Brien Corp. factory at 2001 W. Washington St. in South Bend.

The Specialty Adhesives segment manufactures industrial adhesives and sealants, commercial roofing adhesives and mirror mastics. Brand names in the Specialty Adhesives segment include Silaprene, Hydra Fast-En and Gunther Ultra/Bond.

Uniroyal Technology was formed in 1992 from the remnants of the bankrupt Uniroyal Plastics Co.

Uniroyal Plastics formerly had several business segments in a century-old factory building in downtown Mishawaka. Those other segments were either sold or moved elsewhere, except for the adhesives unit, which remained here in order to be close to its customers.

The old Uniroyal plant has since been demolished and its former site on the St. Joseph River in Mishawaka is being redeveloped.

One cable address known to many at that time was "Twins." If you wired this address, you would reach John and Miles O'Brien, founders of South Bend Lathe Works. The brothers were identical twins who looked so much alike, even their close friends could not tell them apart, despite that one lost three fingers in an accident.
