Water Slide

Image

View across water towards a group of boys and girls, likely all members of the extended Brumder family, playing and swimming near a water slide at the end of the swimming pier at Villa Henrietta, the summer estate on Pine Lake established by Milwaukee publisher and businessman George Brumder. Herbert E. Brumder appears to hover over several other children while jumping into the water. A boathouse with intricate gable fretwork and a small spire is on the shoreline on the far right. There is a canoe on the pier.
