The Victorian romance of The Oliver Inn Bed & Breakfast reflects the lives and times of South Bend's most famous families, the Studebakers (wagons & automobiles) and the Olivers (the world-famous Oliver Chilled Plow and tractors). While Clem Studebaker was busy in August of 1880 building the foundation for his castle/home, "Tippecanoe Place", James Oliver acquired the adjoining property. Here he built a spacious 10,000 sq. ft. "Queen Anne" style home and had it gifted along with its one acre grounds to his daughter, Josephine Oliver Ford, for "$1.00 and LOVE."
