A view looking south from the corner of Landy's property. You can see Vanden Brook's cottage
next to Landy's and then two more cottages and the five rentals (far side of the photo).
The tavern (Kunzer's) was just south of the rentals.  There was nothing but empty land to the north (behind the camera), but it didn't take long before several cottages popped up.


Another view south, with the Vanden Brook's cottage in the foreground, which was at the end of the end until Landy built and the road was extended.  The yellow cottage belonged to the Spice family and the white cottage was owned by the Ray K-----? family.

Above:  By contrast, here's a similar shot approximately 10 years later.  In this view you can see the
cottage/mobile home of Earl & Helen Gaulke (visible over the roof of the 2nd cottage, Osten's)

A view north-east towards bay shows how low the water levels were.

A few years later, more cottages filled in the land to the north of Landy's A-Frame.  At the end of the road stood a small white cottage owned by the Snyder's who sold Landy his 300' of lake front property.  The Snyders owned a farm and a rock quarry just off Highway S.  The blue home was the year round residence of Ed & Margaret Strass. 
The white home (foreground) belonged to Jim & Rose Mary Nichol of Green Bay. They also became year round residents.  This photo was taken around 1962 or '63.
The brown/blue home of Ed & Margaret Strass has added a garage.  The rust color cottage, with the white roof, belonged to the Jacobson's from Florida who rarely came up.   The pink/red cottage, next to Nichol, in the foreground belonged to the Metz' family from Appleton.  In the photo below the Donny & Helen Lehn modified A-Frame is seen, next to the Metz cottage.  The Lehn cottage was designed and built by Landy in 1964.
