WheelHorseEnjoyer 25 #1 Posted July 21, 2022 In a few days my family and I are taking a trip out east and on our route google maps takes us through South Bend, Indiana! I had the bright Idea to stop at the old factory to see where my machines came from. Does anybody know what the address is to the factory or to who owns the factory now any information to help me find it would be helpful! I'll send pictures if I can find it! Thank you in advance. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,006 #4 Posted July 21, 2022 The old South Bend Lathe factory there had been converted into a hotel a while back. I stayed there several times. Not sure if it is still open, though. Was a neat building with post and beam timber framing. When I was in South Bend on business, I'd frequently go a restaurant called The Volcano for a lunch. Was a mom & pop sandwich place. Again, it has been a long time since I'be visited South Bend, so this restaurant might be gone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorseEnjoyer 25 #5 Posted July 22, 2022 @8ntruck Thanks for the info but I don't think they would be open because I would be stopping on my way out east and would be driving at night. I might go see it at aroun 2:00 am in the morning. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
