their summer retreat. In 1878,
the Belvedere Club was founded
by Baptist ministers from Kala-
mazoo. In 1880, the Chicago
Club was founded by members
of the First Congregational
Church of Chicago.
Many Jewish families have also
called Charlevoix their summer
retreat. In 1918, Loeb Farms was
built on Lake Charlevoix by
Chicago's Loeb family, of Sears &
Roebuck fame. At one time, there
were 90 people on the payroll
caring for the livestock, gardens
and orchards. Members of the
Loeb family still summer in
Charlevoix.
Other early Jewish families
who built wonderfully spacious
summer homes included Hyman
J. Miller of Baltimore, John Simon
of St. Louis, Sam Gilbert of De-
troit, Rabbi Nelson Glueck of
Cincinnati, L.E. Bloch, president
of Inland Steel of Chicago, and
the Godchaux family of New Or-
leans. Building homes in the 20s,
these wealthy German Jewish
families never formed a club be-
cause they chose not to ghettoize
themselves.
Before and after World War II,
more Jewish families began to ac-
quire property in the Charlevoix
area. As the baby-boomer gener-
ation reached its teens, however,
the quieter streets of town didn't
appeal to the liberal hippies of the
`60s and '70s. Some families sold
their homes, while others spent
less time in the area.
Now that these "boomers"
have teen-agers of their own,
many are rediscovering the
charms of Charlevoix. They're ('
flocking back, renovating old
homes and building new ones.
The season extends from
spring to beyond Labor Day for
many homeowners. More than
a dozen families have joined Tem-
ple B'nai Israel in nearby
Petoskey, which is celebrating its
centennial year. A program of
commemorative events is
planned for the weekend of July
19 and 20.
Among the numerous metro
Detroiters who own residences
in the Charlevoix area are Suzy
and Burton Farbman.
The Farbmans, who have a
home in Charlevoix, and a beau-
tiful farm in Ellsworth, spend as
much free time in the area as their
overbooked schedules allow.
"It's the greatest," says Suzy.
"The area has everything —. great
food, great golf, fun people — but
don't tell a soul."
Right, Suzy! CI
