We love this historic boat house on our lake. It has become an iconic structure that we would love to see preserved.

My great grandmother, Hildgarde Smink, bought the lot in 1915 for $350. In the 69+ years I have been alive, we were at the lake every summer and the boathouse was never an issue. At one point in time, the boathouse was actually in the water and housed a CrisCraft inboard. It was subsequently moved onto its current location, probably in the early sixties. My grandparents, my immediate family have never had an issue with the boathouse. The property in currently by myself, Mike McBride & Tim McBride. The 3 of us and our families continue to enjoy our time. Our view of the lake has never not included the boathouse. My father, Jim, and brother Mike, are Marine veterans, who were grateful for the simple gesture of the flag, on the boathouse.

As an architect who works in historic preservation and has done work for the McBrides on Indian Lake, I appreciate the character, value and sense of place that a structure like this brings to the lake. Tim and Anita's commitment to preserving the building is a gift that the community should accept and cherish. I heartily support the preservation of this structure.
