stop no.6 on the #WandawegaTour: “The Ural Cabin”.Its original foundation is now the patio; it was moved from there in the 30s to make more room for guests to hang out. After a dozen years of being a junk shed, we put on a new roof, raised it up, added carriage windows, and finished the interior to be a heated home for Ural’s Wandawega Sportsmans Edition sidecar. #partner photo: @bobcoscarelli (we got the ladder from a 90 year old local farmer who said his father made it by hand for their hayloft)

Stop No.5 on the #WandawegaTour : Original to Camp Wandawega, it’s had a long history: It was the hiding spot for liquor during prohibition, a criminal on the run in 1941, and a young couple in love in 1948 (shown here). We started restoring her (David with crowbar shown here) and found all sorts of clues to her past hidden in the walls.

Stop No.4 on the #WandawegaTour: The Sterlingworth Cabin // we found her on the side of the road & moved her to this spot on a fork truck & a prayer…. gutted it- replaced her roof, floors, added a skylight & set it up as a convertible painters/writers studio /// Originally, she was one of a little string of tiny lakeside sleeping cabins as part of the once-epic circa 1901 Sterlingworth Hotel (that sat on Lauderdale lake next to wandawega) After the hotel burned down – all the cabins were demolished except for this one… a neighbor moved it to her backyard to become a garden shed…. where we found it fifty+ years later
