Located inside the Historic LaSalle Building in downtown South Bend, The Hideaway was a local speakeasy bar. Ancon Construction’s Design-Build team completely renovated the space under the watchful eye of the Historic Preservation Commission. While completing the renovation Ancon used period-accurate woodworking methods and stains. While demoing the old bar, we found old beer bottle caps and a war bond. The entire project was brought back to life while honoring its historic past.
