The fire marked a somber yet resilient time for the Mishawaka community, and from those ashes rose the Phoenix Building on Main Street and Lincolnway. Constructed in 1873 by John Niles, Henry Niles, Joseph Burt and Buford Holcomb, the three-story brick building served the city as an Opera House, First National Bank of Mishawaka and the Century Club — a social club and community space.
