The joke is on me. I had a meeting this evening at the Cartier Mansion in Ludington, now a Bed & Breakfast. I thought I was going to get to see the inside of the house.
Turns out the meeting room is in the carriage house.
The house was built in the early 1900's by Warren Cartier, son of lumber baron Antoine Cartier. Both men are early legends of Ludington history and politics.
From descriptions I've read, many of the high end features of the time period are similar to those at places like Stan Hywet and the Kellogg Mansion. This house is big, but not as big as those, of course.
The first floor of the carriage house is now storage. I guess a boat trailer isn't that much different from a carriage.
The meeting room is upstairs.
Maybe I'll get to go inside another time. The owners are acquaintances, but does one just go ask for a tour?
