Summary

The June 1958 Beaver Beacon reports several cottage projects on Sand Bay and south of Beaver Harbor, together with a new access road from King’s Highway.

Evidence and limits

These are newspaper construction and planning notices. They do not provide deeds, permits, plans, contractor records, or completion inspections.

Sources

  1. Reports cottages being completed by the Suttons of Morenci and Murray Wantys on Sand Bay; Richard Stromberg ready to start; Danny Clark and Dr. John Ludwick Jr. planning cottages south of Beaver Harbor; and a new road opened from King’s Highway to that location near Larry’s Riding Stables. It does not provide deeds, permits, plans, contractor records, or completion inspections. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
