Beiger Mansion
The Beiger Mansion, pronounced ''By-gur'', though known more colloquially as ''Bee-gur'', was the palatial home of Martin Valentine and Susie Higgins Beiger at 317 Lincoln Way E. in Mishawaka, Indiana. In 1973 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1903 the home was burned to the ground in 1975 and has since been restored, though not to its former grandeur. The restoration process is still ongoing. It is now operated as a bed and breakfast and event facility.
== Background ==
Martin V. Beiger, born February 3, 1847,〔http://www2.sjcpl.org/historydb/browserecord.php?-action=browse&-recid=211〕 was Mishawaka's first millionaire. Martin made his fortune with the Mishawaka Woolen and Rubber Manufacturing Company, which would later become Ball Band then Uniroyal. He, along with his father Jacob Beiger, bought the small textiles mill in 1867. He married Susie Higgins, the daughter of a local jeweler, in December 1876. In 1886 Martin Beiger, along with Adolphus Eberhart, patented the first all knit wool boot, demand for which quickly grew the company. The boots were topped with a black band and a red ball which became the companies trade mark. Ball Band went on to employ as many as 10000 people in the 1940s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ball Band History - Mishawaka )〕 By the turn of the century Martin was a millionaire and with his new found wealth, soon he and Susie were considering a more lavish home in the style of some of New Port Rhode Island's mansions, particularly that of The Breakers.
