| 説明 | HOTEL VENDOME.North Shore, Flint LakeDate: 1924Source Type: PhotographPublisher, Printer, Photographer: Dodge's Telegraph, Railway Accounting and Radio (Wireless) InstitutePostmark: Not ApplicableCollection: Steven R. ShookRemark: Hotel Vendome would have been located at Edgewater Beach assuming that the caption is appropriately locating this photograph. As early as 1876, Mary Clay owned nearly all the property abutting the entire north shore of Flint Lake. Clay sold her property in 1890 to Howard Dickover, who then constructed a resort hotel and named the property Edgewater Beach. The resort included swimming, boating, camping, as well as some summer rental cabins. By the second half of 1910, Edgewater Beach had its own railroad station, which provided for easy access to the electrified Valparaiso & Northern Railway interurban line. A grocery store, called the Green Lantern, was also located on the Edgewater Beach site.The following news item concerning Hotel Vendome appears in the May 27, 1899, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:THE HOTEL VENDOMEFlint Lake's Popular New Hostelry In Charge of E. E. Drom.The Tribune is pleased to note that genial Ed Drom, an old-time editor of the Westville Indicator, has taken the management of the "Hotel Vendome," at Flint Lake for the summer. Mr. Drom enters the business with considerable experience in this line, having spent many years in the hotel business under his father. For the past twelve years he has been a traveling man, and if Flint Lake does not become the mecca of the Knights of the Grip, it will no be the fault of the manager of the Hotel Vendome. In a neat circular the following ravishing description is given of the Valparaiso's water resort."This most beautiful sheet of water seems to have been painted by the God of nature for the enjoyment of mankind; high bluffs, deep ravines, grandly towering hills and beautiful groves all kiss the waters of its shores, in one grand panorama of loveliness."Now, if that don't fetch 'em, they can stay right at home all dog days and swelter.-------------The following news item concerning Hotel Vendome appears in the June 24, 1899, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:Flint Lake News.The Hotel Vendome gave its first Sunday dinner last Saturday. Fifty-four guests sat down when Manager Drom gave the signal. This hotel fills a long felt want at Flint Lake. It is just what was lacking to make the place up-to-date and under the management of Ed Drom, a prince of good fellows, its financial success is assured.-------------The following news item concerning Hotel Vendome appears in the September 24, 1930, issue of The Vidette-Messenger:OLD FLINT LAKE HOTEL NO MOREThe old Vendome hotel at Edgewater, on Flint lake's north side, is being razed by W. A. Fraser, of the Kilmer-Fraser, owners of Blackhawk beach. Mr. Fraser recently acquired a strip of 140 foot frontage on the lake, including the hotel property of Mr. and Mrs. Ejnor Hanson. He will use lumber from the building to build cottages. The hotel was built a number of years ago by C. Howard Dickover, who formerly owned the land thereabouts and conducted a summer resort for a number of years.Sources:The Chesterton Tribune, Chesterton, Porter County, Indiana; May 27, 1899; Volume 16, Number 7, Page 5, Column 4.
