Cottage Built by Kokomo Man At Dunns-on-the-River

Dunns-on-the-River is one of the finest summer home resorts in Indiana and its value for fishing, camping, boating and all the pleasures of summer is not excelled on the Kankakee. Mr. Dunn did a very appropriate thing when he decided to lay out a pleasure resort along his high, wellshaded and grassy bank, and the way the lots have sold is proof that people who are seeking summer homes have found many things to favor the Dunn location. The above cottage was built last spring by a man named Joy, who owns the Kokomo telephone enchange. It is a six-room summer cottage, and was the scene of so many joyous gatherings of Kokomo people the past summer that it was found necessary to establish a tent addition for the overflow. The tent may be seen in the accompanying picture, it is on a lot that belongs to the publishers of the Republican. To the east of the cottage is a store, where fresh vegetables, fresh bread, pies and

cakes are for sale daily and where everything good can be procured at reasonable prices. Still east are a number of cottages but they are off the Dunn land and are not nearly so well located. To the west of the cottage here illustrated is the Frank Slight cottage and a club house built by a company from Kokomo. It was occupied most of the summer by a lively party. There is another cottage still ; further west—a pretty good showing for the first year. Several lots have been sold, and Mr. Dunn has opened up another tier of lots in the rear pot having direct river front, but he has made a 50-foot street leading to the river and left a 30-foot street between the front and the rear lots. By the endHof the coming year there should be a dozen or fifteen or perhaps more codages on the Dunn land. If any readers of the Republican are considering the building of a home on the Kankakee they can find' no more beautiful spot than Dunns-on-the-River. * /
