Culver Citizen - 4 June 1930 - - $12,000 fire ruins Brewer lake cottage
    Water Hard To Get

    New Community Fire Truck Gets Severe Work-out on East Side FIre

    The recently remodeled summer home of F. A. Brewer on the east side of Lake Macinkuckee was completely destroyed by fire last Saturday night. It is estimated that rhe loss is about $12,000, the major portion of which is covered by insurance. The loss on the house is about $8,000, it is said, and the balance on persoonal property and furnishings

    The caus remains in doubt, but it has been stated that an electic wall plug on the sleeping porch had been causing troughle and it was on this porch that the flames were first seen, giving rise to the supposition that a short circuit started the flames.

    The house was an old one and burned rapidly. By the time the fire department arrived the flames had considerable headway and gained still more when the department experienced difficulty reachin ght lake with the pumper.

    On Friday several members of the department had fone over the East Side discussing where to reach the lake at different points. The only place they couldn't figure a way of reaching the water was in the vicinity of the Brewer cottage, due to the high bank of considerable length

    WHen the department arrived on the scene Saturday night they attempted to reach the fire from the stream flowing past the Edwards cottage, but the distance was too far and the hose would not reach. It was then decided that the F. E. Gates coattage was the only other possibliity and this proved successful although the pumper was pulling at a greater height than is considered possible. The 41 feet of suction hose just reached the watter and for over two hours the pumper kept a stream going through the 1,000 feet of hose.

    All attention was given to saving the Judah and Flannigan cottages , which flanked the flaming building and the gargae in the rear. These were saved without any damage.

    All of the furnishings on the first floor were saved, but none was brought out on the seconf story, which accounted for a large loss of personal property.

    The house had been recently remodeled and improved extensively.

    It was being occupied by Mr. Brewer, who had been ill for several weeks, his daughter and a school firend.

    The fire brought out the need of more hose and other equipment to give ample protection to all cottages .

    The contour of the lake front makes it necessary to carry what will be surplus at most fires, but is needed when such fires as the Brewer one break out.


1930 - Aug. 6 - Brewers in Colorado -- ...On the 29th of May when fire leveled out lake place to the grounf we had just finished painting and fixing preparatory to spenfing a enjoable summer of Maxinkuckee, but the fates had it written differently for us... We have accumulated some ideas for the rebuilding of our place at the lake.

1931 - May 12 - Wanted to rent: COttage on East Shore Road for summer. Please send communications to F. A. Brewer, North Shore Hotel, Ecanston, Il.
