Seventeen Ski Hill is a house with many names. Originally built in 1933, it was the “Booth” house until the early 1950s. It became the “Hanson” house for a few years until the Hanson family sold it in 1955 to Jack and Barbara Ahrens and her mom, Katherine Parker. Then it became known as the “Ahrens” house. In 1999 along came Curt Winkle and Ken Martin who took the reins from Barbara and have made it their home. Through all those changes of ownership, there is one name that has stuck. It adorns the sturdy [...]

EDITH ROSESCU O.D.2.16.93 Here is the information which BETTY FUNKEY gave me about the house. DICK FUNKEY built the house around 1959 (the date of the blueprints). He and his family lived in it until approximately 1964. The house was then sold to the STEVENS family who lived in it for seven years. It is often referred to as the Steven's house. Mr. Homme calls it the "ANTLER HOUSE." It had an antler-like driftwood mounted to the west wall. I moved into the house in October 1972 (the house was sold in March 1972). There was [...]

The property at this location has an unusual, if not unique, history in the early development of Ogden Dunes. Having been associated with it personally or through family members and relatives for its first 39 years, I am reasonably confident, through written records and my own recollections, that the following account is accurate. Hopefully, it is worth this rather detailed recording. During the early 1920s, my aunt and her husband, Ethel Sloan and Donald Levi Moody, enjoyed camping and hiking in the sand dunes of this area. At that time these dunes were largely unspoiled [...]

The house at this location, between Cedar Trail and Ogden Road, adjoining an undeveloped road and the park, was built by Richard and Matilda Siebert in 1947. According to County records, the Sieberts acquired the property in early 1947 from Earl and Helen Brown. The Browns had purchased it about ten years earlier from Charles and Bessie Yarrington, who were among the few early landowners and settlers in the new town of Ogden Dunes. The Sieberts had already been residents, having built the house at 23 Sunset Trail about ten years earlier, and were living [...]

INFORMATION ON THE HECK HOUSE, 23 Cedar Court, Ogden Dunes. At the highest point atop the hill on lot #23 was built a small two-story concrete-block house by Paul M. Williams and Anne Williams, husband, and wife. Their deed was dated August 5, 1940. Dr. Maurice Avery, a next door neighbor who first built on the hill, mentioned that he remembered the house being built. At that time, Cedar Court only reached the bottom of the hill or the circle as I believe it was called. Kenneth S. Dysart and Mary E. Dysart were the next [...]

Charles Dolnics, vice-president of the Harbor Motor Company (an automobile dealership) in Indiana Harbor, and Clementine had their wood frame house with a basement and garage built in 1951-52. (See 12 Sept., 1951, Sandpiper.) Mrs. Dolnics salvaged the most tulips of anyone from the derailment of 1953. They made the front triangle into quite a show-piece. The tulips have dissipated over the years. The last stragglers were eaten by animals around a decade ago. Mr. Dolnics drove a front-wheel-drive car and had to back up the hill for traction. They were sorry to leave the [...]
