The Hot Dog Stand
The Hot Dog Stand, the closest cabin to the Inn, was built during the early 1920s, or possibly earlier. It was once a wash house, depicted by Elsa Ulbricht in a painting titled Old Wash House at the Windmill. The wash house was located very close to the windmill, which provided water for laundry from the Inn.
For many years, the building served as the school store. The large front window has a wooden shutter board that lifts on a pulley, such that it resembles a food stand pickup window. It is said that at one point, the Hot Dog Stand had a machine that dispensed beer.
Currently, the Hot Dog Stand is used for staff studios.
There used to be a beer vending machine next to the Hot Dog Stand. A beer cost a mere 75 cents. This was removed in 1995 because it was becoming a problem.
The Letterpress
The Letterpress, built in the late 1960s, retains its original structure, to which an addition has been made. It is a low L-shaped building, with a flat roof and drop shutters that cover the full wraparound screens. It was used for metals for a period of time in the 1980s. In 1984, it was slated for demolition, which never took place.
