Ralph's Resort / Club 20

These are two pictures that my maternal grandparents, Herb and Gusty Schmidt sent my parents while they were in Cleveland, showing them a business for sale. Harry's resort, owned by Harry Smith had a good location on the north shore of Lake Kampeska right next to the lake's outlet about 4 miles out of Watertown, SD. Grandpa Herb helped Dad buy the property in 1950.

There were a couple "Whereases". Mom and Dad had to live in a tiny area in the left side of the building until Harry's new house was finished and they could move into the small house you see in the second photo. Though it doesn't look like it was much of an investment, there was quite bit of property and Dad went on to build Club 20 eight years later.

Here's video of both the inside of Ralph's Resort and Club 20.
