The Log Cabin Playhouse

According to Alice (Kolliner) Colombo who grew up in the house at 415 West Mulberry Street, this log playhouse was constructed by Louis Bergeron in the 1890s for his daughters after being inspired by a Fourth of July poem and play about Abraham Lincoln. Bergeron was a foreman at the Schulenburg and Boeckler Lumber Company and lived at 1220 North Broadway._x000D_

Alices mother, Nathalia, who was related to the Bergeron family, remembering her childhood days in the playhouse, purchased it and had it moved to the yard at 415 West Mulberry Street. When the Kolliners sold that house, they had it moved to the present location where it is now in the possession of Erik and Kathy Skon. The Skons take their preservation of this century-old playhouse very seriously. The interior structure was professionally reinforced in 2008 to maintain "the beloved log cabin" for yet another generation of children.
