Long Beach, Designed by Ahlgrim & Boonstra and Originally Built for Michigan City Industri- Alist Count Adolph Van Spanje Volume 19, Number 37 Thursday, September 18, 2003 Architect-Designed Homes to be on Tour by Barbara Stodola Eighty years of fabulous beach houses have seen cultural changes so enormous that architectural design has been turned inside-out. These design changes are the focus of the Michiana Humane Society house tour on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The earliest home on this year’s tour is a colonial revival showpiece on Lake Shore Drive in Long Beach, designed by Ahlgrim & Boonstra and originally built for Michigan City industri- alist Count Adolph Van Spanje. In 1923, he began acquiring property that eventually extend- ed from one street to another, a total of six or seven lots, so as to have an impressive setting with plen- ty of space for lush gardens, parking areas and driveways. Today owned by John Leinweber and Jim Laughlin, the home is entered through an elab- orate, paneled front door embellished with fan- light and sidelights. Visitors pull up to the porte cochere and stroll across neatly trimmed lawns — the entire experience creating an impression of having arrived at a very important place. This impressive home, one of the earliest full-time resi- When Van Spanje’s house went up, dences in Long Beach, was built for Count Adolph Van Long Beach consisted of acres of sand, Spanje and his wife, Cora.

Now that lake- front living has appealed to masses, the availability of building sites has diminished and ho-hum automo- biles are to be sheltered, not paraded about. These changes are reflected in the architectural styles. Even more significant is the change in attitude toward indoor/ outdoor living. The grand old homes of yesteryear turned inward, with activities centered around a fireplace or dining room table. In redecorat- ing their home, Leinweber and Laughlin emphasized this aspect, looking for vivid colors, textures and pat- terns that would create a cozier, homier atmosphere. Decorator Richar obliged, bringing in silk-screened wallpapers, imported carpeting and floral draperies — thus creating a rich setting for the owners’ collection The interior of the Leinweber-Laughlin home has recently been refur- of arts and antiques. bished by Richar, using lush fabrics and patterns to complement the own- ers’ collections of arts and antiques.

Great numbers of windows are used, and every opportuni- ty is explored to maximize the views. This approach was adopted by Wright’s son, John Lloyd Wright, and is also evident in the designs of the architects intro- duced on this year’s tour — Jerome Hyndman, James Jaksa, Ademola Adewoye, and Edward Noonan. The modernist trend appeared in Long Beach as early as 1927, because of John Lloyd Wright settling into the community. The home he designed for Michigan City businessman H.E. Otte, although continuing the usage of stucco walls and tile roof, departs from a central hall plan and situates the front door off to the side. Upon entering, visitors are ushered into a “Red Oaks,” a dunetop home designed by John Lloyd Wright, will be spectacular sunken living room, with a 21-foot cathe- open to tour-goers for the first time.

Originally named “Red Oaks,” for its splendid trees, the property shows the new owners’ efforts to restore the landscaping designed by the famed Jens Jensen. Flagstone walls, long overgrown, are now redis- covered as the foundation for woodland plantings and the lovely vistas for which Jensen was noted. Architects today, lacking the luxury of rambling home-sites, individualize their designs in different ways. James Jaksa, who had traveled and lived abroad as an architect for Amoco, designed his Sheridan Beach home to take advantage of lake views and also to dis- play the maritime artificats that he and his wife, Alison, had collected over the years. The Jaksa home (featured in The Beacher, Sept. 5, 2002) announces its theme at the point of entry, with a mermaid fig- urehead mounted above the garage doors.

  • Chasing Fame from the Saddle: the Odyssey of the Overland Westerners
    1 CHASING FAME FROM THE SADDLE: THE ODYSSEY OF THE OVERLAND WESTERNERS By Samantha Szesciorka Introduction In 1915, four men arrived on horseback at the towering gates of the Panama­Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. They were dressed in their cleanest cowboy duds and had even given their horses a good bath and brushing before they arrived. The men sat tall in their saddles as their horses walked through the crowded thoroughfare, a shaggy black dog trotting behind them. They had reason to promenade – they were taking the final steps of an unprecedented equestrian journey. The riders were on their last dollar, road weary, and homesick, but nonetheless optimistic. The Panama­Pacific International Exposition was to be the grand homecoming of the Overland Westerners, as they called themselves. After three years on the trail, the men had ridden more than 20,000 miles to visit every state capitol in the U.S., and they were sure that fame and fortune now awaited them. However, when they reached their destination at the Expo grounds, they were devastated to discover that acclaim is not necessarily guaranteed for great success. Overshadowed by the myriad of wonders that the Expo offered, the Overland Westerners found they could not compete. The public simply wasn’t interested in four men with nothing better to do than ride around on horses. Defeated and disillusioned, the men returned home penniless. The Overland Westerners were promptly forgotten. 2 The Overland Westerners were neither the first nor the last to undertake an equestrian expedition across the United States. During the 20th century, many long riders set out to find adventure in the saddle.

  • Tim Goodale's Frontier Contributions to Idaho Were Quite Significant Editor

All Dues Paid OCTA, Box 1019, Independence, MO 64051-0519 XX Issue 1 January 2008 James McGill, Editor [email protected] 208 467 4853/ Cell 250 6045 _________________________________ Tim Goodale’s Frontier Contributions to Idaho were Quite Significant Editor The many contributions that Timothy Goodale made to growth in the West, and to the early supports for human livelihood and provisions were important then and now. When he led his wagon train from an area near Boulder, Colorado, and across Wyoming, Idaho and Eastern Oregon, his main intent was just to get certain emigrants to the destinations they had chosen. Published reports of this accomplishment have indicated that he led the train beginning from the area of Fort Hall on the Snake River in Idaho, but that has now been proven as a short- changing of the final big project in his life. He had started with only a few miners’ wagons, increased to a very large train as others joined him, and decreased by half when many chose to go northerly to Montana. Then 14 miles west of Arco, Idaho, before beginning to follow the treacherous volcanic fields along the southern end of the Pioneer Mountains, grew again to the largest train ever to cross Idaho. In the Boise Valley the train then again divided back down to the component trains that had joined him about 200 miles earlier. He finished into Oregon with about 70 wagons. Another development greatly aided his trail contributions.

(2) I asked my parents to loan me the skateboard money. (3) I said I would pay them back later, but my dad told me no. (4) He said he was sorry, but I appeared to be a bad credit risk. (5) Then he started teaching me how to establish good credit. (6), Now at seventeen, I’m proud to say that I have a good credit score in my own name. (7) All young people can and should start building their credit early. (8) The first step in developing my credit was to earn money and open a savings account at my local bank.

  • Nebraska Lincoln Highway Historic Byway Power Point
    NEBRASKA LINCOLN HIGHWAY HISTORIC BYWAY America’s Main Street 1 NEBRASKA LINCOLN HIGHWAY HISTORIC BYWAY The Nebraska Lincoln Highway Historic Byway is one of the nine designated Byways in Nebraska. By state statute, it is Highway 30 across Nebraska. 2 HISTORIC LINCOLN HIGHWAY The official Lincoln Highway route through Nebraska is comprised of the original 1913 route and many later realignments. The historic Lincoln Highway through Nebraska traverses nearly 450 miles, including the 1913 route a major realignment in 1928‐30, as bridges and better roads made a straighter (and shorter) road possible. Since 1928, many sections of US 30 have been re‐aligned with new bypasses. Nationally, today’s US 30 aligns with less than 25% of the original 1913‐28 Lincoln Highway routes. However, through Nebraska, much of the route remains unchanged, and much of the original route is drivable. 3 CARL G. FISHER Carl G. Fisher, shown here as a young man, was an early automobile enthusiast, and the builder of the Indianapolis Speedway. He began actively promoting his dream, a transcontinental highway, in 1912. By July, 1913, Fisher and his associates settled on the name, “Lincoln Highway”. On July 1, 1913, the same day the Lincoln Highway Association was established at its headquarters in Detroit, the “Trail-Blazer” tour set out on a 34 day trek to San Francisco. The Lincoln Highway was inspired by the Good Roads Movement, which was begun in the 1880’s by bicycle enthusiasts. At the turn of the century, automobiles were overtaking bicycles in popularity, and the Good Roads Movement turned to promoting cross country routes.

Travel is pivot point of how Americans live, being a necessity to have a feasible way of life. Without automobiles, people have a hard time getting to work, school, and family, which affects the state of living and the ability to advance in the class system to have an easier time in life. Travel is what connects people throughout the large country they live in, yet it is also the source of arguments and debates as gas prices rise and more jobs require further travel with less than substantial pay to cover the cost of that travel.
