The Phoenix Building was built on the location of 101 LincolnWay West (formerly known as 2nd Street) in Mishawaka after the fire of September 5, 1872. The catastrophic fire destroyed 49 buildings, including the entire business section of the city. The site was occupied by a number of businesses, including Sherwood Drug and Bookstore, S.H. Judkins and Son groceries, Keiner & Keisier Hardware, J.A. Burt and Company meat market, B? Holcomb, grocery with second floor millinery.
Currently, the Phoenix Building is owned by Don Kelly and is being leased by Rich Kelly, Don?s son. The restaurant?s name is chosen because the mythical bird is again rising from the ashes as it did in 1872.
The building had a Phoenix bird rising from a lion?s head at the peak of the building when it was re-built in 1872. The lion?s head is on display at the Hannah Lindahl?s Children?s Museum on South Main Street in Mishawaka.
