Island History -
This is one of the earliest houses on the island built specifically as a summer or vacation residence. It was built in 1925 by Professor Hummel of the Western Reserve University Chemistry Department. He was one of a group of professional men from Cleveland who bought the Kelley Mansion and operated it as the Sportsman's Club from 1927 to 1932. During this period, they also purchased Long Point and made plans to develop it as a summer colony, utilizing island labor and materials in the construction of the cottages. Only one lot was sold to a Mr. Rice, who erected a house built of glaciated stone. The Depression caused the club to disband, and Long Point was sold to Tom Jones, an attorney from Cleveland.

Dr. Hummel bought a tract of land east of the Kelley Mansion that included Kelleys Pond. He sold the lot to the west of this house in 1955 and the pond area in 1957. This pond is now the site of the Seaway Marina. After the death of Mrs. Hummel, the house was sold in 1963. During his summers on the island, Dr. Hummel maintained an extensive garden and, at one time, raised bees, selling his produce and honey to summer residents.
