Wm. W. Winslow
In 1896 Walker W. Winslow's father bought the Robert Dagget cottage. Walker became
one of the most noted of the summer people and his wife provides these reminiscences
of typical East Shore life:
"Walker spent his youth sailing with the other young fry around the lake. He loved the
lake so much that he wanted to spend his honeymoon there in 1913...His mother did not
think it a proper place for a bride. There was no running water, oil lamps were used,
the beds had shuck mattresses, and our clothes were hung on nails on the wall.
"Truckers came over the gravel road, now 117, to our doors to sell provender. Most of the
cottagers had a cook and a manservant, and ate their evening meal on the porches in
candle-light.
"The people who came to the lake at that time all lived elegantly at home and they carried
on the usual manner of life at Maxinkuckee. They had an infant yacht club, bridge parties,
and dinner parties. The tone was set then for a classic lake with substantial people.
"In 1931, Walker wanted to recapture the sailing on the lake and at a dinner, at the Culver
Inn, he invited the East Shore residents to help him. Then was founded the Maxinkuckee Yacht
Club. The boats being sailed then were in Class C and Class E.
"Walker loved the lake so much that he wanted it to have everything."

cottage of the adjoining Joseph Schaf's on the East side, and will cost

ten rooms, and will be of the bungalow type.

the lumber for the building og the largest cottage that is being put up on
Lake Maxinkuckee this year, namely, the Winslow cottage. The cottahfe will
cost about $6000 and will be built just west of th e academy grounds. Mr.
Linkenbelt will haul his lumber by wagons - Argos Reflector

1936 Cottage History
appeared in Indianapolis Star
Another home which has a historical background is that of Walker Winslow , for his father lived
there before him. The big house of today is the outgrowth of a small weather-boarded cabin of
forty years ago. According to Mr. Walker, the present dinning room and part of the north bedroom
adjoining it formed the ground floor of the original structure.
The latest addition to the Winslow home is a wing marked by its interesting "New England arches"
which are shown in on of the pictures. The basement has a new recreation room and boathouse which
is a delight to the mechanical minded for it has automatic doors, and very "slick" contrivances
for launching boats down the hill and for nringing them in again snugly.
