Mon Bijou

Posted by on June 1, 2014

Just as Lake Geneva Wisconsin is a smaller version of Newport RI, Oconomowoc WI is a smaller version of Lake Geneva. From the 1870s to the 1930s it drew the wealthy from Milwaukee, Chicago, and St Louis, who built palacial estates, many of which are still standing. The most prominant is Mon Bijou (My Jewel) built in 1879. It is now The Inn at Pine Terrace and is seen here shortly after construction.
