Great story, but I believe that there is another "stem-winder for this project" - Rachael Walsh (Frank's daughter). Rachael worked tirelessly to save both the historic cottage and the icehouse. Sadly she wasn't able to save the cottage but was able to save the icehouse. I was fortunate to have been given a tour of both structures last year and am saddened that progress has robbed us of a fine old cottage with a living room that Gustave Stickley would have envied. Thankfully the icehouse was spared and will be restored and enjoyed by the public and by future generations.

Great Article! It's so nice to know that people still care about our local history and saving what we can. What a shame that the Leona didn't survive for future generations to enjoy. Thanks for reporting these kinds of stories!

The event at the park which surrounded the laying of the cornerstone for the museum helped to restore my faith in America. I was with good people, remembering the times and the people no longer with us and, through Ken Gaertner's fine poetry, thinking also of our brothers and sisters all over the world. Thank you, Rachel and all, for organizing the celebration and for giving us Rachel bucks for the Linwood Hotel afterwards. I look forward to seeing "the slowplace of Linwood" sometime very soon!
