Dining Room

The furniture in the dining room of the Bradley House was purchased from a Chicago furniture manufacturer in 1925. It was intended for use in the new management dining room that was going to be included in a large addition to the main office of Michigan Limestone and Chemical Co., operators of the quarry and processing plant south of Rogers City. Unfortunately, the building was totally destroyed by fire before the addition was completed, so the furniture was unneeded. Its history from 1925 until 2005 is obscure, but it was apparently purchased at some point by one of the company's management personnel, possibly George Wing.

In 2005, the dining room suite was discovered in the First Street home of the late Leo Greka, local tavern owner, lumberman, and entrepreneur, when someone noticed that there was a Michigan Limestone logo on the backsplash of the linen press. The museum purchased the furniture from Greka's heirs.
