The properties in the photos below are all unidentified. The photos were all submitted from the collection of Ross Renwick (except as noted), along with other photos definitely related to Walloon Lake, so it is assumed that these unidentified photos are connected somehow with Walloon Lake, as well. If anyone can identify any properties in the photos, or identify the surroundings in the photos, please refer to the number listed below the particular photo, and let me know. I would like to place the photos of the cottages into the correct "Arm or Shore" category of Walloon Lake on this website. ~ Karla Howard Buckmaster

Photos 54 and 55 below: Longtime Walloon Lake resident Charley Zimmer wrote "I believe the photos numbered 54 and 55 are from the Indiana Beach area, which is located in the West Arm on the North side before you get to the narrows. It is in the little cove area after the Warfield house and before you get to the point."
The location of 59 and 60 above, is the South Shore Drive west of the old Thomas House and shows the sidewalk starting at the Penniman Cottage and moving west. Photo 59 shows the Penniman Cottage, the Anolich Cottage with the curve in the sidewalk the start of the Peterson property. In photo 60 the walkway leading off to the right was a bridge to the top of the Bugg's boathouse.

"The following information may be related: "Hayo-Went-Ha Camp for boys, conducted by the State Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations and recognized as one of the foremost in the world, begins its fourteenth season with the summer of 1917. The camp is located on Torch Lake, the largest and one of the most beautiful inland bodies of water in Michigan. Mr. F. P. Knapp will again act as camp director and associated with him will be men of national reputation in work with boys. The equipment of the camp is as fine as can be found anywhere, including a clubhouse, spacious dining lodge, tennis courts, baseball diamond, boats, etc. Fifty-five acres of wooded land away from resort influences make it an ideal camping spot."
