The dot to the right reflects about where the house use to sit on this lot. The dot on the left represents where it sits today after it was moved. Up till this point this area was just empty lots.

Julius Pura Property This lot sat on the Alley Just behind the main house on the corner at 232 S Main and Marmont Streets (which was tore down in 2006) and stretched most of the block from Marmont on the south to Madison to the North except for the small area of the lift station belonging to the town. There was several buildings on itthat held "junk" and lots of old newspapers both Mabel and Bess were unmarried and hoarders - and much of the stuff was left from their father's junk business.

This was purchased by the Culver Cove project in the late 1980's as an expansion to their project from Mabel Pura - and then sold as financial problems set in with the project.

Ice House and Ice Channel

1922 - Sam'l Medbourn - Ice chanel property

Sally Medbourn writes: When Samuel Ezra Medbourn died, his son (my grandfather), Harry Edward Medbourn took over the ice business and started the Culver City Grain & Coal Company (where THE COVE now is).

This property - belonged all to the Co-op afterward. Most of it was swampy and it had several metal buildings on it for storage; Also the Ice chanel from the lake to the ice houses was located on this piece of property and the general location of the Medbourn Ice Houses. Back in the 1960's there was a path from the houses across to Park-N-Shop; Al Sclahback worked at Park-N-Shop and lived in the old house in the bottom duplex and would walk across this lot to work - so would people of the neighborhood when they went to the store if it was not swampy wet when it rained.

1922 - Hawkins & Osborn

There is 3 visible buildings

This area all became the Farm Bureau Co-op property - until the Culver Cove acquired the property and the railroad property about 1979.

--- ? 2006 - Town of Culver

Town of Culver - an Easement to the lake? If this ever existed it is completely gone now as the Cove, Roberts and Bayview properties line the lakefront and there is "private Property" and "No tresspassing signs" posted all over the end of E. Jefferson Street. By looks of the property this triangle of land does not even reach the shores of the lake also.

INT CEN LN E JEFF ST W R/W FORM VAND L

Culver - is giving up property at the end of Jefferson Street - as found in a public notice published in the Culver Citizen 4 Feb. 2010. in part as follows:

Notice of Bids The Town of Culver is currently accepting sealed bids for town owned property at the east end of Jefferson Street, Culver, Indiana. The property is undeveloped, vacant and triangular in shape with the deminisons of 550 sq. ft. The property is located off the shoreline of Lake Maxinkuckee with no lake access, but with lake view and not ability to support any improvements without encroachment...

It is the light blue highlighted property below:


Since the property is land locked and of no benfit to anyone but the two adjacent property owners which is the Culver Cove and the Roberts; it would be safe to assume that one of them will end up the property. But time will tell. it was valued between $14,590. and $14, 600.

This when original fought for was to have had lake access and was done in 1988-1989; what became of the lake access protion is unknown. Several people including David Burns and other town officals at the time fought to retain lake access at the end of Jefferson Street; if memory serves right they had to appear in the Federal court in South Bend. Other accesses being fought for at the time included the Daviess, Winfield, and Washington St.; a limited agreement for Washington Street was reached to allow access to the park area but is unknown if it still exists or not.

Controversy At Davis Street
By Jean Williams

... At the last Town Board meeting, Town Trustees were asked why they felt they had an interest in Washington Street but not in the Davis Street access. The answer is evident. Without the offer of an easement into the park at Washington Street, the entire town would be cut off from that entrance to the park. Without it, how would emergency vehicles get it? The Washington Street easement ordinance is now under consideration as proposed by John Deery, owner of that access...

The way it was...

the address over the years has been given as both but always listed as "vancant lot". This is a vacant lot in essence - it has what is used as a cement boat houseand deck top over looking the lake on it I believe at the end of State St. I think it originally was a part of the Kreuzberger Hotel property and could of been the boat house for it.
