The Boat House on Cambridge

The Boat House on Cambridge

Edmund B. Gustdorf built his house to look like a boat.

It is on 3138 N. Cambridge (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)  and faces the Milwaukee River.

Modeled after a 1910 gasoline motor launch it is a 500-square-foot abode.

My Dad took this photo when the siding was still wood, not aluminum and the wavy wooden fence still surrounded the house.

The house was built around 1926-27 and my best guess is this photo was taken in the 1940s.

I love the boat in the yard too.

Lake Park Ravines

Lake Park Ravines

Growing up near Lake Michigan the ravines of Lake Park

offered "wildlife" opportunities for us kids.

It offered photo opps for Dad.

These are a couple of his ravine photos.

Aesthetic Value was what he always said was important.

Dad's Photos

My father was a great photographer.

Although a printer by trade he had talent and vision.

He took this photo after a winter storm in the 1940s.

What I love about this image is the contrast of the horse and carriage

still in use across from the automobile,

which I'm sure is what Dad was saying with the shot.
He entitled it Horses to Autos.

Hello Calypso

Hello Calypso

One of my favorite sights to come upon while following the colors of the carpet of Yellowstone National Park is the Calypso Orchid.

Sometimes she is elusive but I found her on the Black Tail Deer Plateau standing tall.

Two color variations for me to enjoy.

Calypso bulbosa/americana

Webers Candy Logo Re-used

Webers Candy Logo Reused

Images of years ago--Webers Candy Logo

Webers received its trade-mark in 1910.

My great-grandparents used this logo on their storefront, on candy and baked good boxes,
on menus, business cards and stickers, on advertisements and signs.

Today the Weber trade-mark is being reused by Weber's Greenhouses of Milwaukee.

The business has won an award for a re-use of the logo.

Here is their form of the Weber logo.
