1929 - Dec 11 - Injunction filed on purchase of properties

In 1931 the Culver Reality and Investment Company was established by Bretram and Edwin II Culver. Through this they bought up the north shore property of the lake between the Culver Town Park and the original acreage H. H. Culver had bought and the academy sat on. This was done to stop speculators from buying it up and decreasing the outside development by other on the area around the academy. All that could not be bought up at the time was the railroad right-a-way. Thus this property became part of Culver Military /Culver Educational Foundation.
