Update: The cabin is up! The Three Lakes Historical Society dedicated the Grosman House in August, 1998. Pictured above, from left are Felix Holewinski, Celia Holewinski, John Grosman, and Jack Olkowski of Three Lakes. Celia was born in the cabin on Oct. 6th, 1909 (1910?) The partially re-built cabin is in the background.

   The cabin was built by Michael Grosman who immigrated in 1887 to the United States. In 1903, Michael moved to the Three Lakes area, and constructed the cabin shortly thereafter. The family continued to live in the cabin until 1921. After that, the cabin was used as a temporary residence, or summer home, for various members of the Grosman family, until 1965, when the condition of the cabin had so badly deteriorated that it was permanetly abandoned. The cabin at that time is generally as it appears today, with the exception that there was originally only one window in the bedroom and two windows in the living room. The additional windows were added at a later date.
