The Maplewood Hotel
Vicky Stull
photograph, 1999
the story | Having many commercial lives, including as a furniture and a grocery store, this building became a hotel in 1898. It received its classical front in 1923 at the hand of the prominent Chicago architect and lakeshore resident George W. Maher. Maher was part of a group of citizens in the 1920s and ’30s who sought to give Saugatuck a more fashionable look.
the photograph | This is one of the photographs taken for the Saugatuck-Douglas Museum “Raising the Roof” 1999 exhibition and featured in the accompanying publication, Raising the Roof: The Architecture and Buildings of the Saugatuck-Douglas Area, (original ed., 1999, second ed., 2006)
the photographer | Vicky Stull lived and worked in the Saugatuck area in the 1990s and served as the chief photographer for the Saugatuck-Douglas History Center’s “Raising the Roof” exhibition in 1999. She was represented by Water Street Gallery. Currently she lives and operates VBS Photography, LLC in the Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida area.
