SEASONS BUILDING IS
BIGGEST IN HISTORY
Forty Building Projects Show
Greatest Growth in Years
in Eagle River for the
1921 Season

We believe large number of Re-
view readers will be interested in
detailed resume of the different build
ing operations that have taken place
in Eagle River since outside work
began last spring. All told nearly
forty different property owners have
invested sums ranging from a few
hundreds to many thousands this
year in their homes or business
places, the total cash outlay running
into figures that we will not attempt
to name.
Starting with the new construction,
the W. e. Ellis residence on River
Street easily comes first, little
farther down is the neat new home
of S. E. Phillips Of the Rhinelander
Horse Co., situated close to the sales
barn. Just beyond the Lacau resi-
dence Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Wander
heyden have built one on the incest
bungalow types of home in town. On
Railroad street, large addition to
the Riverside Hotel and complete re-
modelling Of the G. c.. Knox are two of
the most striking improvements seen
anywhere, with two new houses across
the bridge, while at the foot of the
street, the concrete block garage adj
ditiOn of Jay Cook, the large new
hui1dino of +ho KvofI ~ o-5 A. -
chine shop Of the F. J. Thrun Co.,
have greatly improved the appearance
of the first street noticed by train
passengers. On the county road, the
new shop Of the Eagle Forge, and
new house fitted up by Emil Heehn
for renting purposes, and the new
office, planning mill and box factory,
barn and lumber shed of the Wiscon-
Fsin-M Michigan Lbr. Co., have further
added to evidences of progress. Divi-
sion street is improved by the new
Review building, complete remodeling
of the Dr. Thorpe, Fred Mcintyre and
Chas. Adams homes, new basement
Of the Congregational church and the
new homes of III. j. Mack and Bruno
Ewald. North of that the new home Of
Gus Bentz and the complete remodel
ing of the Englestead home, together
with the new Nash bungalow add a
great Il u that part Of town. Chas.
Armstrong with a large new home,
B. F. Strong, r. H. Dyer, and JOS.
RurutkO have increased the value and
size of their respective residences.
Spruce and Birch streets have been
made more attractive by the new
homes of Mrs. Geo. Erwin, notable
changes in the home of Mrs. Chas.
Erwin, the new double flat of Korth
& Zimpelmann and the remodeled re-
sidence of J. e. Sullivan Wall street
has been a lively place all season
starting with the changes made in
the Gus Rantz store, the new post
office headquarters, and recent chang
es in the Zimpelmann block. Strong
& Manley with "a large automobile and
tractor warehouse erected on the F.
j. Strong property, the large two
story building of p. j. Gaffney and
the Gorski picture show house, both
of brick, now going up alongside. G.
F. Sanborn has the foundation in for
two story business building between
the SanbOrn Office and the store Of
M. Frankel & son, Farther along that
street extensive residence improve
ments have been made by Mrs. Geo.
Stott, in the same block, the Andrew
Manbeck bungalow and a new double
fiat built by Jesse Van Wagner, next
and last we think is the new resi-
dence of John Shattuck
1t may be that in getting this list
from memory that some others have
been missed, but it shows that Eagle
River has this year made growth
to be proud of and one that but few
places of it's size can show. Not long
ago we heard an Appleton man speak
ing of times and conditions in his
town and he laid stress upon the
fact that this year more than sixty
new buildings had been put up. Com
pairing the size of Appleton with
Eagle River and we have seen much
stronger growth, and there is every
reason to think that in the immediate
years to come that the growth will
continue to be as good. 1t is at least
very satisfactory record for the
year 1921.
