Elbridge G. Spaulding built this Stick Style home about 1870 as his summer retreat on Grand Island, called "River Lawn." The estate had a half mile of river front and encompassed 350 acres of broad woodlands and cultivated fields. During the 1930s, the estate became part of Beaver Island State Park. In this photo the Ralph Sidway House, now the park office, may be seen on the left.
