The Culver Lodge Motel post card to the left depicts it shortly after it was moved. The building in the foreground was the House of Treasures which is now Papa's. It looks as if it that is sitting empty at the time the photograph for the postcard was taken. In behind the building one can see part of the Culver Lodge Motel - of which some of the rooms were torn down in the 1990's to make way for expansion of Papa's and parking area this is now the Inn by the Lake. Also from the back of the postcard states that it was copyrighted in 1955 by The L. L. Cook Co. and the caption on back reads: "The Culver Lodge on Lake Maxinkuckee Adjacent to Culver Military Academy on State Road 17 phone 24'>
    Virginia Glackman was the next owner of the building. She had been owner and operator of The House of Treasures, which had first been located at 772 West Shore Drive (which was then also State Road 17, which probably afforded the shop far more traffic than it would get after the highway was routed to its bypass locale of today), on the west side of West Shore Drive. In October of 1961, Glackman moved from her West Shore Drive home to 1070 East hore Drive, said the Citizen, and by May of 1962, she was announcing her purchase of the Culver Lodge (which she said would be named The Village Lodge).

    The House of Treasures," said the Citizen ad, "has moved its entire stock and will be open at 284 Lake Shore Drive June 1 St. You are cordially invited to visit our gift shop." The 284 address was that of the motel, and ads for a time encouraged visitors to view the gift store's stock there. Soon thereafter, the House of Treasures was located at 824 N. Lakeshore Drive.


An Ad for Pizza Prince in the Culver citizen giving the location as 842 Lakeshore Dr. on Oct 1967, an ad in 1968 ad is the same as as was ran in 1967.

    Mike A . Maddox - we were a part of that era in 1971 with my parents Ken and Lois Schau , my wife Lisa and I worked at restaurant and ran Village Lodge motel next door.

    Terri (Maddox) Edington wrote: "The Village Lodge Motel and Jo-Bo's Pizzeria was our moms' hard work, you could say a family thing for all of us for almost 6 years"


A seen in this photo 1970's major changes took place over the years in the facade of the building. Besides probably sitting empty for periods of time in between businesses.

The Citizen of 12 Aug. 2010 states fires was detered at Papa's as the result of being reported by workers from Bennett's who were on the roof working. Also aided by the quick work of the Culver fireman. The fire was contained to the office area of the restaurant; tho smoke damage was extenvise and throughtout the entire building.

And Jeffery Kenny wrote in the Culver Citizen of 18 August 2014:
    As an aside and a follow-up to last week's column, at least part of Papa's parking lot to the "Indian Trails" to the south) sits atop a handful of hidden structures which helped give the area its longtime nickname of "Bunker Hill."

    While more remains to be unearthed (both physically and informationally), more than one local has discussed the steel doors along the hillside north of the old railroad, lead into the old, concrete storage bunkers used by the on Lake Shore Drive, past and present, it's likely the railroad company for some years.
