If a Chimney Falls in a Bluff ... Does it Make a Sound? |
Description |
The article If a Chimney Falls in a Bluff ... Does it Make a Sound? written by Adrienne Fawcett, tells how a 16-foot brick chimney, fell one night after standing on the Lake Michigan bluff for over 100 years. The chimney belong to the home of A. K. Stearn's, who purchased 7 acres of land from Ben and Ida Cloes in 1905. The article states that in 1948, after Stearns's death, erosion was so bad that his home was very near the bluff. It stood empty for a number of years and was eventually destroyed by fire, except for the chimney. Another house, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, was built to the south of the Stearns house, which was also later destroyed. \The property was later subdivided into three lots. |
