Portage Lake Pinckney Mich., circa early 1900’s. A sandy shore, children in period dress in boats in the shallow water, and several nice cottages—all featured in this view. In the center, near the waterline, is a stone pillar with a birdhouse-like structure on top of it.

Portage Lake, Dexter, Mich. The cottages along this shoreline are quite close to the waterline.
