Eric,

 

I am not real familiar with the industries in South Bend; but I do know there was an ARMCO plant there.  My guess is that the siding was metal; but could have been more of an industrial or agricultural type, rather than housing.

I wonder if the siding loads are wood or metal. I assume they are housing siding.
