CORAL GABLES . ..
OVER FORTY YEARS IS

It started w~en a part-time student employee

the then Grey Gables in East Lansing was on his way
to Detroit to join the - Marines when a serious
automobile· accident interrupted those hopes. As a
result, ~e returned to his job in East Lansing and in
1944, with money borrowed from friends, purchased
what is now known as the Coral Gables.
.
The first decade was a quiet time. Friends were
~ade and associations with Michigan State University were nurtured. Student loyalty was growing.
Then in 1957 misfortune struck. A fire completely
destroyed the Gables. With the help of friends and
students, Tom completely rebuilt. This enterprising

�-THE 1'WIN VILLAGES
ON LAKE MICHIGAN
-THEN &NOW
The twin villages of Saugatuck and Douglas await you
with vacation treasure chests filled with all manner of
earthly delights.
Located within an easy _ drive from millions of
midwest homes, between exits 35 and 41 on Interstate
I-96. these vacation twins can double your vacation
pleasures for a day, a week. or longer.
•
For some the appeal is a trip back in time to the tumof-the-century tree-lined streets with their quaint old
houses and shops, the traces of history that survive, the
wooded hills and river banks. F'or others it is the
thoroughly modem entertainment offered by a rich
variety of establishments.
The building .in the center is known as the "WILD CAT
BANK" of Singapore. It was brought down the river
prior to 1881 to the village of Saugatuck where it still
stands. Today it is known as Salmagundi, a retail
shoppe.
The Pottowattomie Indians first selected the banks of
the Kalamazoo as a place to visit at least once a year.
They were there when the first white man. Father Marquette, came while making his legendary visit to Lake
Michigan country.
.
.
When the white men came in numbers, they liked
what they saw. Where the Kalamazoo emptied into the
great lake, they established Singapore village and later,
when the "singing sands': threatened to bury Singapore.
they moved up-river to the pleasant meadows below
and the hills above the present day twin villages of
Saugatuck and Douglas. .
.
The twins offer something fo r everyone - for all ages,
all tastes, all pocketbooks, and all seasons. ,
First look about you, then ride the Dune Schooners
through the dunes and at first-hand see what the earliest
visitor must have enjoyed, or take to the w ater on the
Queen of Saugatuck. an old fashion stemwheel paddleboat and view the twins, the great variety of pleasure
craft that call this beaut iful port home. and the winding
river channel connecting Lake Kalamazoo with Lake
Michigan. ·
Walk the streets and look in on the shops with their
great variety of decor and merchandise . He re are
assembled, from far and near. all manner of things to
titillate your fancy .
There are special events: Art and craft shows in the
park. fireworks , concerts. festivals . runs, and antique
shows.
Fishing and the Twins have always been synonomous.
Once there were commercial fishing boats berthed
along the river banks that traversed the great lake to
tend their nets and-return with their harvest. Now these
sturdy boats have been all but replaced with sleek.
modem power cruisers equ'i pped with all the marvels of
technological equipment and captained by experienced
skippers who use their fine equipment and pe rso nal
skill to insure good fishing for those who are their
charter customers. They return to port with pennants
flying, with coolers filled with great fish. There are at
least 15 expertly crewed fishing charter boats in the area.
Take a short drive south from the Twins along the
lake shore under the vaulted arms of great oaks and
beaches through which Lake Michigan can be seen.

The old building operated as an inn unt il t h e spring
to the ground.
uild·
In January 1901. E.J. Leindecker an~o?nced pl~s _for a new b , mg. A contemporary line drawing shows a building very similar to today s..
Apparently only half of the present building was constructed m 1901 and
1902. In 1905 they continued construction and added_the other gable. The
building had 37 sleeping rooms with a complete electnc bell system for each
room. The dining room was enlarged so that 100 guests could be seated at one
time. The b;rr and pool room was 56 by 20. ·
The Grand Opening was first announced for April 21, 1906 but was postponed to June 2, 1906 and the newspaper commented"Mr. Leindecker now has a building to be proud of and those who have gone
through it have found that there has been no money spared that was
necessary to make it first class in every respect."
. The building was run for several years as the Leindecker Inn. In approximately 1912 it was sold to someone from Chicago and the name was changed
to the Columbia Hotel.
It was managed out of Chicago for a few years and then was used by the
Georgian Bay Line foil storage. It was also used by the crews of the North and
South American as a headquarters. Also during this period the docks were
used by Mr. George Wright for transporting people to the beach. He had two
boats,for this purpose, the Wm. Cary and the Wolverine. It was a very good
business from 1910 until 1936 when the Oval Beach was opened. Mr. Wright
also operated a concession and an area for dancing to an old player piano in
what is now the parking lot.
In approximately 1920 the building was sold again to Mr. Francis Horgan and
was renamed the Hotel Saugatuck. It was operated again as a hotel and dining
room but du~ to prohibition there was no liquor, beer or wine and therefore it
was rather unsuccessful.
"With my Luck, when my Ship comes in I'll be

,
''Coyote''
In the late ZO's or early 30's it was taken over by Edson and Dale Crow and
was made into a very successful dining room and bar.
It was still known as the Hotel Saugatuck but it was at this time that the bar
became known as the Crow Bar and it is still known as the Crow Bar. Upon the
death of Edson Crow,. the hotel was run by Dale Crow and his wife Madge.
After the death of Dale Crow, Mrs. Crow sold to the present owner, Tom
- Jbhnson.
·
When Mr. Johnson purchased it in 1959 he soon started remodeling and the
name was changed to • Coral Gables Hotel Saugatuck. Later the Hotel .
Saugatuck was dropped and it became Coral Gables.
The first of the extensive remodeling was to take out a partition along the
river side of the building and enclose the porch to make the bar larger. He
then moved the bandstand from the south wall to the west wall. The building
was extended to the south and a kitchen was added. Where the IL Forno
(meaning the oven) dining room is, was the offices for the old building. He
then took out the old kitchen and put in a horseshoe bar to service the Crow
Bar. This increased the seating capacity from about 350 to 425.
In 1960 Mr. Johnson built the second dining room, which is known as the
Candle-light Room. When it was almost completed and ready to open. the Big
Pavilion next door burned down. The intense heat broke all the windows out
and the paint on the building was scorched and blistered but due to drawing
closed the fire proof drapes and the fire department spraying the building with
water it didn 't bum. After replacing the windows and a good deal of cleaning
the room opened with only a small delay. It then had a capacity, between the
two rooms of about 155 people and boasted the first gourmet table in this
area.
Also in the same year they cleaned out the basement and out of a store

Then in 1962 as he was walking around the yard Mr. Johnson spied an old
garage and storage area. After d eaning all the stuff out and ad ding a small
piece to it he ended up with "The Galley" where you are now sitting. If you
use your imagination maybe you can picture an old 1915 Ford w here you are
sitting.
In 196 3 another dining room was added, called the Marine Room. This room
has a seating capacity of 80 people, so now the dining room area can take care
of approximately 235 people.
Remodeling ceased until 1966 when the horse shoe bar was removed and
replaced by a straight bar. This increased the seating capacity another 50
people in the Crow Bar. Also the present bandstand was built then. Now in
the entire building when at full capacity, approximately 1.100 people can be
seated at one time.

Description
An account of the resource
Postcard featuring an aerial view of Oval Beach in Saugatuck, Michigan. The postcard depicts a series of parked cars in the parking lot, and while the beach has a smattering of individuals, it is not as busy as the number of cars would suggest.

Swimming, sunning, or just relaxing as its best on the sparkling, sandy beach of beautiful Lake Michigan."
