Legendary Homes of Lake Minnetonka
Bette Jones Hammel; photography by Karen Melvin
2009
An invitation inside the lake's houses, from summer cottages and cabins to substantial estates and modern architecture. Hammel follows the people and decisions behind the homes, while Melvin's photographs show their interiors and relationship to the water.
For anyone who notices a house from the boat and wonders about its story, this is a natural place to begin. It also gives a sense of how varied lake architecture can be.
