The building of a seawall has begun to help control the severe beach erosion at the Wieboldt-Rostone House along the Lake Michigan shoreline in Beverly Shores, Indiana. Last year’s mild winter and lack of shelf ice contributed to rising water levels.
The Wieboldt-Rostone House was on exhibit during the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair and was brought over by barge to its permanent location. This historic home is located within the Indiana Dunes National Park and is owned by the National Park Service. —Paul Kemiel
