Kendall, J.C., 3089 Lakeshore/Elk Horn cottageGeneral Notes
Note
Emailed from Chris Yoder, May 2025
The Kendall cottage on lakeshore has an interesting story I was preparing for a SHS newsletter, but never felt I had an approval from the current owners. Mr Kendall brought a set of elk horns with him back from the west and they still hang over the fireplace in the living room.The father in the owning family was concerned that if the History Center became interested they might try to declare the place as "historic" and it would inhibit their ability to do things to the property in the future. [Note: The SDHC cannot interfere with property ownership rights] The article was never finalized or published as I recall. Not sure if the Brendemans still own it as recently as April 2020 son Tom Bredemann was sending me emails with info about adjacent properties there are the end of Center St, never did anything with that either although it is still in my email archives. Bredemann's own a car dealership in the Chicago area.Create Date
