South Bend, Indiana J. D. Oliver's Home

J. D. Oliver was an American inventor. He was the founder of the South Bend Iron Words, which was renamed the Oliver Equipment Company when it was incorporated. The pictures are of his elegant 38-room mansion.

The furnishings were the originals of the Oliver family.  There were some updates in the mansion in the fifties by one of the daughters.
