under development eight miles south
Of Lake Geneva and near Powers Lake
on tract of land formerly known as
Tombeau Farms, consisting OF some
seven hundred and fifty acres.
This farm, formerly owned by Z. u.
Simmer of Chicago, has long been
known on account of it's unusual beau
tv. fact which is evidenced by re-
cent exhibit of oil paintings, Thereon
by Datue Meyeres at the art galleries
of w. j. Young, sc E. Jackson Blvd,
Chicago. The farm encompasses Lake
Tombeau and large portion OF Lake
Benedict. The ground is high, heavily
wooded and unusually picturesque.
The development of the project is in
the hands of the American Park Build
ers' association of Chicago, landscape
architects. whose president, Myron w.
West, formerly general superintendent
of the Lincoln Park system, is secre-
tary of the association.
What in reality constitutes a large
and extremely unique summer MOTEL
consists of one hundred cottages OF
from two to five roms, dining hall
capable of seating several hundred
guests and lodge building with out
door and indoor dancing pavilions,
baths, lockers and other facilities for
golf players. These buildings have
been designed in English style by
Charles D. Faulkner of Chicago an&
present an unusually harmonious and
attractive aspect.
An eighteen-hole golf course has
been completed, which is considered
bv experts as one of the best IN the
middle west This course was de-
signed by James FOULS, Jr., and con-
tains some unusually sporty holes.
A model farm of three hundred and
fifty acres will be operated to furnish
vegetables, berries, fruit, chickens,
ETC., and a herd of pedigreed Jerseys
will be maintained to furnish milk and
butter.
Besides golf, facilities for baseball,
tennis, etc. The lake will be kept
stocked with fish and number of fine
saddle horses will be maintained in
community stables for the use OF
guests.
Approximately two hundred cottage
sites have been arranged upon high
wooded land, nearly all of which have
lake frontage. In addition to this a
mile and one-half of lagoons will be
built in the spring to give added ia
cilities for boating and canoeing.
The cottage lots are unusually large,
averaging one hundred feet frontage
and in some cases extending back from
the water as much as $50 feet. These
are made accessible by curved roads,
bride paths and frequent parkways
lead from the interior to the water
front. These lots will shortly be
placed on sale.
Nippersink Lodge is to be run en-
tirely on an invitation basis and will
therefore be given unusual privacy in
character. Playing privilege for guests
that are nonresident can be obtained
for the nominal fee of $4,000 for use
of golf course.
Cottagers will be given playing pri-
vileges on the golf course and the free
! use of all other sporting facilities.
The Offices of the association are To-
ated at POI E. Ontario St., Chicago,
