Entstanden ist dieses Bild auf der Insel Rügen ... genau genommen auf der Seebrücke Sellin. Passanten fütterten die Möwen mit Brot ... Der richtige Moment um ein Bild zu schießen dachte ich ...
Meinungen, Gedanken, Kritiken ... zu dem Bild egal ob positiv oder negativ sind gern willkommen :-)! Also traut Euch ... der FRED beißt nicht ...
Vielen Dank für`s eventuelle Interesse :-)!
The Klinkert Hotel as it appeared exactly one year ago today in Sturtevant, Wisconsin near the diamond of two former Milwaukee lines, one of which is now CPKC's former Milw/Soo C&M Subdivision, behind the building. The intersecting line was where the patch of grass is to the left. The small village area around the diamond was originally known as “Corliss” long before Sturtevant annexed the area.
Here's some information on the hotel from Preservation Racine, Inc.'s Summer 2008 Newsletter:
The Klinkert Hotel, at 2810
Wisconsin Street in Sturtevant, is
the most impressive landmark in
the village of Sturtevant.
When the present building was
constructed in 1908-09, the
village name was Corliss,
Wisconsin. This building
replaced the Old Johnson House
Hotel, which was built in 1872-
73, the first major building in the
history of the village.
Emst C. Klinkert, owner of
Racine's largest brewery,
purchased the old frame hotel in about 1899. He then leased the building to proprietors who sold his
products exclusively, a common practice of brewers at that time. The old hotel was damaged by fire on
April 27, 1901, when the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul train depot across the tracks burned down.
The building was saved and repaired. A second fire August 28, 1907, ravaged the wooden hotel
resulting in a total loss of the building. Klinkert replaced the old landmark with the present red brick
building. Its exterior is highlighted by three comer bartizans with lookouts that are supported by
limestone corbels. Klinkert's name appears on the front of the building, which faces the railroad tracks.
Inside, specially made colored glass windows enhance the rooms, and small mosaic tile covers most of
the floors. The back bar mirror is over 12 feet long, bordered by stained leaded-glass cabinets. The
ceiling is pressed patterned tin panels. The woodwork and trim are of mission oak.
If you were waiting for a train at the old depot across the tracks in 1910, you probably would have
stopped at the hotel. There you could buy a couple of 5 cent beers at the Sample Room (bar), get a
haircut in the hotel barbershop, or eat lunch in the restaurant. These individual business areas were
divided by colorful leaded stained glass partitions with swinging doors.
Since Klinkert sold the hotel around 1920, the building has had numerous owners. The best
remembered owner is Arthur Harmman, Sr. He operated a hotel, bar, and restaurant there from July
1949 to October 1973. Joe and Nancy Borzynski are the current owners of this wonderful building.
They have restored the tin ceiling and are in the process of renovating this historic building.

HEALTHY LIVING for me involves making much of our family food from local ingredients. And you can't get any more local than the Evans Cherry ( a sour cherry) tree 20 feet from my back door! Today we picked the fruit and within 2 hours turned into jam. Making my own healthy jam means I'm in control of the ingredients .... and I'm supposed to be in control of how much of it I eat :) ... Sometimes HEALTHY LIVING can be difficult!
