The Elmer Crockett House was designed by Freyermuth and Maurer in 1907. This large 2.5-story home has brick walls on the first floor, clapboard on the second, and wood shingles under the gable. There is a 3-bay porch across the front with a wide dentilled frieze. Mr. Crockett worked for and then co-purchased the St. Joseph Valley Register, a newspaper founded by Schuyler Colfax. In 1872 he founded the South Bend Tribune along with his brother-in-law Alfred B. Miller.
