.Built in 1925.Made tragic headlines in 1942.Modernized in 1961.Partial reno in 2017Today: Peeling back all the rest of the layers.Our lakeside cedar cabin has seen some sh*t over the years. First photo is of the proprietors inThe 40s. Around the time that a chicago murderer on the lam showed up blind chased by Feds from two states hunting him down (Tommy Lee Jones Fugitive style) they Caught up with him here. Within these walls is where he met his demise. The rest is history (as you can hear on our Podcast & book Saints & Sinners). We decided it was time to get out the sage & clear this joint. The walls are coming down. Weve got plans. Tent involve luxe walnut walls, green lacquer. Pendletons, hand knotted rugs.. Hopefully am antique taxidermy owl. Not quite sure what well find, but weve already discovered a window that has been boarded over from what looks like the 20s.Whatever we find- were prepared for. If weve learned anything from restoring this placeIts that you can never really bury the past, and sometimes its best to just embrace it.That said, after pouring through all the articles about what went down here, we may need more sage. Is the passage of 81 years enough time to clear a place ?
