It is not for sure - but it is thought that this might be the cottage -
that this is written of:
Mark A. Roeder wrote in A History of Culver and Lake Maxinkuckee:
"Booth Tarkington
wrote at least a part of The Gentleman from Indiana while staying at a
fishing cottage on the East Shore...on one corner of an interior wall is a picture
of a young man carved into the wall and some written verse. It is signed,
"Booth Tarkington." The author had a connection to Lake Maxinkuckee going back to
at least 1890, when he was twenty-one. He visited here in August of that year.
During his time here, he met Geneve Reynolds. They played tennis and argued about
Elizabeth Browning and George Merideth. Tarkington grew rather attached to the
young lady."
1911 - Sep 7 - The Van Schoiack farm of 207 acres is to be sold on Sept. 16
in whole or in parcels. The property includes 24 lake fronts lots.

It is here that an interior wall which has been left unfinished for over 100 years,
that has the names of visitors scrawled on it and Thanks go to
Roscoe B. Stevens for
leaving it exposed
It is said when the Schaub's sold the property that the historical stuff on the walls of the
"fishing cabin" portion was protected by a clause in the sale contract that if the new
owners remodeled or demo [demolished] the house that the historical scrawling would be
preserved in a museum or given back to the Schaub's. The names were scrawled by the people
themselves. IE - Booth Tarkington actually wrote on the wall and I cannot remember who else..
Some of the writings are from 1887-1889...
Jan. 2008 - 2020 - David D & Virginia L Gibson
He had an interst in the Gibson Ins. Group Agency of Plymouth,
founded by his father in 1933.
The Gibson's of talking of demolishing the cottage as it is nearly
impossiblel and not finanicially feasible to winterize it to make
it a year around home. If done the historical parts of the old
cottage will be incorporated into the new home as well as some of
the windows and the interior finishing of the old cottage.
