The corner lot at the end of Riverside Drive, where the lagoons channel meets the Huron River, was purchased in 1955 by Morten & Violet Solberg.

                                                   ( Morten from Oslo Norway and Violet a native Ohioan) 

This was the mooring place for Mort's 32' Chris Craft and was supposed to be the

location of Vi's new dream house.  But instead of a dream home, Mort had a dream

for building a marina.  By the late fifties they had sold their lot on the corner and

Mort sold his interest in the Merit foundry business in Cleveland to purchase the

property south of the bridges on the south

west side, where Mud Brook

and the Huron River meet.

 

This was the beginning of

Huron Lagoons Marina.
