From Surveyor's Cabin to Lakefront Cottage Colony
Johnathon Stratton and Luke Whitmore settled the area in 1825; a post office opened in 1834 as 'Northfield' before being renamed Whitmore Lake in 1854, and the community grew mainly as a summer-cottage colony before shifting toward year-round living.
Plumbing Built for Seasonal Use, Not Year-Round
A cottage plumbed originally for seasonal use -- with lines that could simply be drained and shut off for winter -- often needs real upgrades to handle full-time, year-round demand, and that seasonal-to-permanent conversion is one of the more common reasons Whitmore Lake homeowners call for a plumbing evaluation.
