The Gordon Beach Inn is located in Union Pier, Michigan. When it was built 1924, it was the centerpiece of a Jewish resort subdivision. The inn was built by Louis and Lena Gordon. 4 years after its opening, it was expanded. The Gordons operated the inn for 10 years. They lost ownership during the Depression. There is little information about the ownership from this time until the 1960’s.

In the 1960’s, the Inn was purchased by Robert Miller. He was an Africa American Chicago Alderman.

Another of the owners was Devereux Bowly. In 1991, he started a project to restore the inn to its 1920’s appearance. He hired artist Jo Hormuth who hand stenciled the walls and corridors with designs based on botanical themes and local native American patterns. The 20 rooms of the Inn were updated with private baths, heat and air conditioning.

   Devereux Bowley died in 1914.      He left the ownership of the

Gordon Beach Inn to his sister Judy  and his son Zach.

    This station was built for the South Shore Line in 1927. It was in operation until 1987. It was built as a multimodal structure.  It was two stories high with a front white facade with columns.   The South Shore Line was affiliated with multiple bus lines. The station was planned as a waiting area for both buses and the train.

   Over the years, the bus lines ceased operation. The station closed in 1987 as the South Shore Line underwent bankruptcy.  A smaller train stop exist near the old station.  The train station has been for sale since 2016.
