SHERIDAN BEACH PAVILLION. WRECKED BY TORNADO APR. 25 -'09. Date: April 25, 1909 Source Type: Postcard Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Leo Lilienthal (#44-E13) Postmark: None Collection: Steven R. Shook Remark: News reports exist concerning a terrific wind storm, and perhaps a tornado, that struck Northwest Indiana on April 25, 1909, with a house and barn being lifted off their foundations in the Valparaiso area. Attempts to uncover information about damage at Flint Lake caused by the storm has been fruitless. As early as 1876, John McQuiston owned all the land located along the east side of Flint Lake. Much of McQuiston's land was later sold to A. W. Lytle, and as early as 1895 the site was being referred to as Sheridan Beach. Edgewater Beach, located on the north shore of Flint Lake, was immediately adjacent to Sheridan Beach. The hotel at the beach was constructed in 1905; it was sold along with 47 acres of property to a retired manufacturer from Chicago name Sigmund Freund in 1906. Freund soon added running water and electricity to the resort. The resort was later purchased from Freund by the Kilmer-Fraiser Company on July 4, 1925, and the resort was renamed Blackhawk Beach Summer Resort. The resort was once again upgraded to include a roller skating facility, picnic grounds, a toboggan slide, and concession stands. The hotel was razed in 1957.
