Haven Hubbard Home
New Carlisle
New on 10 Most list
The Hubbard family arrived in St. Joseph County in the 1830s buying land near New Carlisle. Generations of Hubbards enlarged the farm while also succeeding in business, banking and the law. After Haven Hubbard died childless in 1916, his widow Arminia gave a religious denomination the 750-acre family farm and nineteenth-century homestead, with enough money to build the Haven Hubbard Memorial Old People’s Home.
The Classical Revival-style building opened in 1922 and saw name changes and additions over the decades that enlarged it to 117,000 square feet. Eight years ago, the institution built a new facility close by and closed the old place with its 174 guest rooms. We must find a new use for the handsome, solid landmark or it will be demolished.
