A List Names of cottages 1903  

This is a List Names of cottages from "Snipets" found in the Culver Citizens of 1903

Some of these cottages are known as to location and some are not as yet.

Hopef ully all the identities and locations of the cottages will be known and can be placed in the list of cottages and owners also - some have already.

These are names I am coming across while doing the Maxinkuckee Snipets. This is between the published plat maps of 1898 and 1908 which proviveds some of the cottage owners for both of those years.

The cottages along the North Shore from the Lake View grounds to the Academy original tract were purchased in the late 1920's and before 1932 or shorthly thereafter into probably the 1950's by the Bertram and Edwin Culver or by the Culver Realty Investment Inc. which was formed by them, to protect the interest of the Culver Military Academy land to prevent encroachment. This includes the Conzleman cottage "The Roost", Albretcht, Herz and many others not found as yet.

Long Point

It was also known as Rochester Point because of the many Rochester, Indiana pwople who had cottages there even tho they had their own Lake Manitou

The spring and ground water fed lake covers 775 acres. In 1827 on what is now the are south of the dam, the U.S. government constructed a grist mill for the Potawatomi Indians under the terms of a treaty. To obtain water power, a dam was built near its present location. This flooded the area around five lakes and formed Lake Manitou. Near the mill were erected a blacksmith shop, trading post and a house. The dam, mill and village fell into disuse after the Potawatomi were removed to Kansas in 1838.

Lake Manitou derives its name from the Potawatomi word “spirit”. The Indians, who fished and hunted in this area for 150 years, believed the lake’s waters held a monster fish or serpent of supernatural powers. Early settlers knew the lake as “Devil’s Lake”.

In 1903 Long Point in its enterity was offered for sale at $2,500 for development!

In the 23 July 1903 Culver Citizen was found this ad:
