Keystone Club in Lakeland, Michigan, sits like a log lodge on open ground, with porch railings and a few rocking chairs pulled into the shade. The photo itself is labeled “Keystone Club, Lakeland, Mich.”
A matching postcard in the University of Michigan’s David V. Tinder Collection is dated Aug. 5, 1911, placing this scene in the early resort era along Zukey Lake in Livingston County. Lakeland was known as a railroad-to-lakes getaway, served by both the Ann Arbor and Grand Trunk lines — the kind of stop where summer visitors rented cottages, fished, boated, and cooled off away from the city.
Do you know where the Keystone Club stood — or who belonged to it?
