| Occupation |
The resort industry in South Haven, Michigan started when Henry and Ellen Avery moved to the area and built a cottage on North Shore Drive. Friends from Chicago were invited to visit that summer to enjoy the lake. They returned the next summer, inviting their friends. Ellen realized the potential for turning what they and into a resort. In 1883 she built a two story, frame cottage, called the Cottage Vendome, for summer guests. It was so successful that she added another cottage in 1885. The resort complex became known as the Avery Beach Hotel. The resort was sold in 1894 and burned in 1905. |
