Description: Baraga's famed "Red Boarding House" frequently known as the Honeymoon Hotel will be razed to make room for the relocated M-35 which ascends the hill flanking the town's main street near the once proud lodging house. The pine structure was erected in 1871 by the late Philip Foucault Sr., who ran it as a lodging and boarding establishment. Assisting him was Hancock's pioneer, S. A. Gennette, L'Anse's late Frank Collins also helped in its building. Later the structure was sold to Peter M. Getzen who, in turn, sold it to Joseph Getzen. In more recent years the building has been converted into apartments. [Exterior view of the three-story building.]
