Book Synopsis



City and Campus tells the rich history of a Midwest industrial town and its two academic institutions through the buildings that helped bring these places to life.

John W. Stamper paints a narrative portrait of South Bend and the campuses of the University of Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College from their founding and earliest settlement in the 1830s through the boom of the Roaring Twenties. Industrialist giants such as the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company and Oliver Chilled Plow Works invested their wealth into creating some of the city's most important and historically significant buildings.

Famous architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, brought the latest trends in architecture to the heart of South Bend. Stamper also illuminates how Notre Dame's founder and long-time president Father Edward Sorin, C.S.C., recruited other successful architects to craft in stone the foundations of the university and the college at the same time as he built the scholarship. City and Campus provides an engaging and definitive history of how this urban and academic environment emerged on the shores of the St. Joseph River.



Review Quotes




"A seminal, inherently fascinating, and meticulous study, Professor John W. Stamper's [book] from Notre Dame Press is deftly edited by Benjamin J. Young and features an informative Foreword by Dennis Doordan." --Midwest Book Review



"City and Campus is a perfect and lasting legacy to the work and passion of John W. Stamper's life. His devotion to the study and preservation of South Bend's historic buildings is knit together with his long tenure with the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture as only a lifetime of connectedness to both could do. Thank you, John." --Todd Zeiger, director, Northern Regional Office, Indiana Landmarks



"A well written history of the changing residential, business, and industrial architectural styles in the city of South Bend and the neighboring University of Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College. This interesting and informative work should be read with profit by students of architecture and the public alike." --Thomas E. Blantz C.S.C., author of The University of Notre Dame: A History



"I am thrilled to witness John W. Stamper's latest work that documents and offers critical insights into South Bend, Saint Mary's College, and University of Notre Dame's parallel histories. As a Notre Dame alumna and practicing architect deeply interested in the region's sense of place, I am thankful that--through Professor Stamper's sheer will, the dedication of Jennifer Parker, and the careful editing work of Benjamin J. Young--it is presented and illustrated so thoroughly, especially as these communities grow closer than ever." --Melissa DelVecchio, Partner at Robert A.M. Stern Architects



"John W. Stamper has done a fantastic job knitting together the history of two world-class universities and the northern Indiana industrial city of South Bend. He has brought together in an exciting way how the architecture of both campus and the city evolved over the 100 years the book covers. A great read!" --Travis Childs, Archivist and St. Joseph County Historian, The History Museum



"City and Campus is an ambitious and engaging book. By deftly weaving together a diverse range of buildings and sites, architectural historian and educator John W. Stamper reveals his deep understanding about the diverse forces that shape our built environment over time." --Michelangelo Sabatino, co-author of Modern in the Middle



"This book is born of a deep, lifelong, and lived experience of South Bend. John W. Stamper's passion for this place is reflected in this carefully written history, and Benjamin J. Young's additions and editing honor Professor Stamper's last work. An invaluable architectural history of South Bend, the University of Notre Dame, and St. Mary's College for residents, alumni, and historians alike." --Margaret M. Grubiak, author of White Elephants on Campus
