Land acquisition for this began with the railroad right way along the west shore from Washington Street to Jefferson Street including the railroad property along the Farm Bureau co-op

This included the railroad right-of-way (a tressell/bridge that allowed the trains to go above the access road entrance at he end of E. Washington Street; the access alley/road on the lake edge [fire or emergency easement] went into the park and also down along the lake edge to the south towards the co-op property which was not used much and had become over grown in the 1960's to 1970's, the access alley or cinder street that connected Jefferson & East Washington

The Harbor encompasses what was Lots 6, 7, 8, 9, that fronted Washington Street and a part of Lot 10 which was a part of the Ferrier Lumber Yard of the T. H. Harris Addition of Culver all of what was the railroad bed and the lake front access road and property

1980 - Washington Street easement is under consideration as proposed by John Deery owner of that access to the lake and park.

1983, Jun 15 - Site plan by Clyde M. Poppe of LaPorte, Indian was the Architect

Found in the 21 Sep 1983 Culver Citizen is:

Culver's plan commission met last Wednesday in a special meeting and approved Harbor Condominiums' expansion of its originally planned 18 units to 20 units. At issue was the alley connecting the planned condos to Washington Street. Attorney Jim Easterday told the commmission the alley was never dedicated, making it city property. At the request of Jean Williams, Harbor agreed to submit a written document agreeing to maintain the alley, which will remain public property.

It was started by John J. Deery possibly David Feagler (a lawyer from Plymouth) and several other investors and several other people and trouble hit the corporation. Charles Edgington and other people stepped in and picked up the pieces and finished the project.

1985-1986 no listings in the lake directory - but was to have been completed in 1986.

In 2005 Charles Blazevich is an owner of a condominium that is part of Harbour, and he is the President of the Harbour Condominium Association.

High-end living in Lawrence [Kansas]

Phil Harrison is comfortable with the arrangement. He and his wife, Beth, already own two condos elsewhere: one on the beach in Naples, Fla., and another at The Harbour on Lake Maxinkuckee in Indiana,...

The Harrisons recently bought a unit at Bella Sera and are looking forward to the day they can sell their home of 28 years on St. Andrews Drive.

“I’ve been taking care of a yard full of chiggers for a long time,” said Phil Harrison, former president and managing broker for Gill Real Estate and Insurance in Lawrence. “By pooling our ownership with other people, we can have a fancier exercise facility and a bigger pool, and we don’t have to worry about taking care of it.”
