Muskegon Chronicle, May 27, 1987



You may not recognize me, but I used to look like this, (I smoked cigarettes, too). The building is the old Hackley/Hume residence, turned museum.

I built the cupola without plans. The "photos in the archives.. " consisted of a single grainy, wide angle picture, taken during the original construction. There was no detail at all to be gleaned from that photo, however. The over-exposed sky washed it out.

I actually got tired of all the hoopla over the new cupola. I never heard that word until this summer, and then I was hearing it from everybody. I got sick of it. I always called the thing a dog house.
