A variety of concrete blocks was used to build the house complete with turrets and wrap around porches. The three story interior was divided into identical halves—one for each brother. The Billy Sunday House, also known as Mount Hood, was built by the noted evangelist and his wife in 1911.

Exact actual selection is shown. If there is any question in the viewer's mind, don't hesitate to ask for clarification. The Village at Winona is a destination rooted in warm hospitality, natural beauty and spiritual community.

The houses are placed close together and many have two story porches overlooking the park and lake beyond. The cottages originally had names, some of which continue today. These houses were originally built for as summer residences but over the years have been converted into year round houses. Two that really stand out are the Beyer house and the Billy Sunday House. Two of the Beyer brothers constructed this symmetrical Queen Anne house in 1907.

This Arts and Crafts bungalow has a remarkably intact interior with decoratively painted canvas wall coverings and wainscoting. Below the ring of residential properties is a 200-acre park that includes an amphitheater, formal gardens, paths, retaining walls, fountains, benches, and sculpture. The Beyer brothers purchased a large parcel of land in 1886 on the shores of then Eagle Lake and opened Spring Fountain Park, a summer resort and amusement park. By 1895, the Winona Assembly and Summer School Association had purchased the property from the Beyers and started running a summer resort community based upon the chautauqua that had been established in New York State.

Built in the Second Empire style, this 3 ½ story building dominates the northeast side of the area. It is currently being converted into apartments/condominiums.

Winona Lake, IN 1930 Postcard: Winona Hotel - Indiana Ind

Over the last 20 years the area has once again been transformed into one of Northern Indiana’s prime recreation and shopping destinations. The Village at Winona is now an integral part of the community, serving locals, Grace College students and faculty as well as the many vacationers who make day and weekend trips to the area. The Village contributes to Winona Lake’s unique character by welcoming small businesses seeking to build a sustainable presence in this welcoming and historic community.

The Beyer Brothers had additional plans for their property, however, and they founded Spring Fountain Park as a summer resort and Chautauqua site. The Park included such attractions as a race track, a modest roller coaster and cyclorama. A hotel was built, as well as an auditorium, which was used for programs and lectures.

Thanks to his substantial improvements—including the building of homes, cottages and the canal—the succeeding years brought significant growth to the area. Conferences, church retreats and summer vacations swelled the Park’s seasonal tourism. Winona Lake reached its peak in the 1910s-1920s, due in part to Billy Sunday’s gift of preaching. Attendance in this small town, two miles east of downtown Warsaw, climbed to 10,000.

The grounds changed ownership in 1894 when The Presbyterian Church of Indiana purchased the land, a transaction that was negotiated by Solomon C. Dickey. Dickey was then serving as the superintendent of Home Missions for the Indiana synod and would become an honored figure in Winona Lake. Dickey changed the name of the lake and established the Winona Assembly and Summer School in 1895. Although Chautauqua sites often included religious elements, Dickey was intent on bringing a stronger religious feel to the Winona programs and Bible conferences were begun immediately in 1896.

The seller has specified an extended handling time for this item. In 1887, the brothers built Spring Fountain Park, a resort complete with a hotel, a racetrack and a roller coaster. The grounds of Winona Lake still convey the atmosphere of a summer resort. There is a ridge to the north of the lake where many of the two-story, wood frame residences were constructed.

The first program included a keynote lecture from John Heyl Vincent, a co-founder of the original Chautauqua Institution in western New York. F. Beyer purchased the area that surrounded the eastern side of what was then known as Eagle Lake. During the 1980s, as the older buildings and facilities continued to decline, the historic district became known for its dilapidated condition. The town experienced a renaissance in 2000, however, when local business leaders invested the heavy resources needed to create The Village at Winona and other recreational and local initiatives. Although these efforts took place between 1998 and 2000, members of the Winona Historical Society had been raising awareness and taking small steps since at least 1990. The resort was sold in 1894 to Presbyterian church leader Dr. Solomon Dickey, who dreamed of turning the area into a religious retreat.

Sunday died in 1935 and, by 1943, Winona Lake had seen the final summer assembly and the demise of programs. During the 1940s-1960s, the facilities were used for other religious-based functions but the area continued to decline. The area was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The Winona Restoration Company was formed in 1994 and helped revitalized Winona Lake. Since then public and private buildings have been restored, a retail area has been created, and visitors are returning to Winona Lake. During its Chautauqua height around 1910, crowds averaged 250,000 annually but by 1915, attendance was in decline.

Much of the Beyer's effort was to use this natural refrigeration to ehance the value of their products. By 1905, the resort and surrounding area had been renamed Winona Lake. The following ten years are now known as the ‘Golden Age’ of Winona Lake, with summer tourism reaching 250,000. It was during these years that evangelist Billy Sunday built a home in the nearby village.

The Beyer brothers were first attracted to this area because of its artesian springs. Their business involved purchasing commodities such as eggs and butters from small farmers, consolidating the products and then ship them to buyers on the east coast. They needed to store the produce for short periods of time before shipping. Mechanical refrigeration, as we know it, did not exist. Artestian spring water came out of the ground between 40 and 50 degrees, and thus would work as natural refrigeration.
