LOOK OUT COTTAGE — Above is the fourth in a series of line drawings by local artist Ken Darkless of Syracuse involving historical landmarks in the Lakeland area and drawn especially for The Mail-Journal summer pages. History of this cottage, know n as Look Out Cottage, on the south side of Lake Wawasee, was supplied to Mr. Harkless by Mrs. Marie Schrader. Look Out Cottage was originally built in 1894 and known then as the Pottawattamie club. It was purchased in 1901 for the sum of S6OO by Fred Rusch of Indianapolis for Mr. Rusch’s family, nephews and nieces. Mrs. Schrader’s mother, Anna (Rusch) Horst, was one of the nieces. * The cottage had seven bedrooms, a large living room and two porches, a large dining room and kitchen. The pier was large enough for the steamers to land, pick-up and deliver passengers.

Co-starring in the show are John Newton and Janet Hayes. Both Mr. Newton and Miss Hayes are from New York and both have impressive Broadway and off-Broadway credits. The show is directed by Robert Tolan. with musical direction by James Reed Lawlor.

Wed., June 24, 1970—THE MAIL-JOURNAL

The beach was cleaned of brush and old tree limbs and neighbors would come every afternoon to swim, sometimes as many as 30, with nearly all arriving in row boats. When the Ruschs first came to the lake they came by train to Milford. Royßrown would meet them and drive them from Milford to the lake in horse and buggy. A special buckboard was needed for the many trunks and supplies as everything had to be brought for the summer. A launch was made that would go under the old railroad bridge which was very low at that time. This was the only way, except by horse and buggy, to get to Syracuse to shop. In 1926, the cottage was moved back more in line with the neighboring cottages and remodeled. To date, there have been five generations living in this cottage.
