The Magestic Star casino boat sitting at Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The boat was docked for decades in Gary, Indiana before closing in 2021 after new Indiana legislation allowed for land-based casinos.

Built in the early 1930s, Chateau Hutter was originally envisioned as a European-style resort and winery overlooking Sturgeon Bay in Door County, Wisconsin. The stone building, designed with locally quarried limestone and heavy timber framing, has long been abandoned but still stands as a striking relic of pre-war leisure architecture. Its location on a bluff above Lake Michigan and its craftsmanship make it one of the region’s most enigmatic remnants of early tourism development.
