The Stroh girls may be some of the unknown people. "A Bath House once was built on the northern beach in 1909. A second edition with a cupola roof was built in 1916. It was used by guests of the Lodge for changing clothes prior to swimming; occasionally its roof was used by children as a platform from which to pole-vault into the water. It was constructed of halved cedar logs. Swimming activity gradually moved to the Ark beach; the Bath House was no longer used and was torn down in 1961."
