The guy that lives in the house caught the first recorded musky out of Booth Lake!!

Good guess but not so. Look at the chimney, there is a clue!

ELLEN said the S is where Santa got stuck!! I’m not buying it, but laughed!

@musky Jim, that is really cute!!!

This house and the larger house next to it were both Sears houses. In the early 1900′s Sears sold complete home packages under their “Modern Homes” catalog division. Sears took advantage of many new modern advances in building material (for example drywall) and could ship the materials and plans for a home to consumers. This Minocqua home pictured was the “Ridgeland” model number 13302 and sold for between $1,293 and $1,496. This model was sold between 1933 and 1940. I think the scroll on the chimney is the letter “S”.

@Micaela, thank you for sharing all the facts about the Sear house!!!

AHHH HAH.. Another destination for this summer!!! Cool beans!!
