Reference excerpt

The Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex, also known as the Interlochen Cottage, is a private summer home located at 2046 Crescent Beach Road in Williamsport, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

History Henry Sandenburgh was born in Prussia in 1853. He emigrated to the United States, married, and arrived in Williamsport in 1878 as a fisherman. Sandenburgh and his wife Mary purchased the lot this resort is on in 1880, and built a house which is no longer extant. They took in a boarder. In 1882, the couple constructed the main house of this complex, which allowed them to house four boarders. The Sandenburghs also lived in the house, along with their children. In 1908, Mary Sandenburgh purchased the Hotel Onekama in Onekama, Michigan and the family moved there. The Williamsport house was rented for the summer of 1908, and sold to William P. and Belle C. Rogers in 1909. Henry Sandenburgh died in 1913, and his wife Mary continued to operate the hotel until her death in 1928. William P. Rogers was born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1857. He attended Indiana State University at Terre Haute, Columbia Law School, and practiced law and joined the Law Department at Indiana University. He soon became dean of the department, and in 1902 became dean of the Cincinnati Law School. He became involved in a number of community and business interests in Cincinnati, and eventually resigned his law school position to focus more on business. Rogers and his wife were one of the first resorters to discover the Onekama area. William Rogers died in 1921, leaving his wife Belle and daughters Kathryn and Norine as the principal family members in the Williamsport house. They developed the outbuildings and grounds of the complex, remodeling the house and adding a studio designed by the prefabricated building makers E. F. Hodgson Company.

Description The Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex consists of six structures: the summer residence, guest house, garage, studio, stables, and a maintenance building containing an apartment. The buildings are situated in two acres of landscaped grounds.

Summer Residence (1882–83) The summer residence was constructed by Henry Sandenburgh, and renovated in 1919-20 and again in 1936 and c. 1940. It is a two-story, side-gabled Colonial Revival structure with a single story gabled wing at the rear. It has a symmetrical facade, with screened second-story porches on each side. Guest House (1882–83) The guest house was likely constructed as a barn around the time the main house was built. It is a symmetrical single story gable-roofed structure with a steeply pitched roof and a central entry porch protected by a canopy supported by two square pillars. The building is clad with weatherboard and sits on a cement slab foundation. Garage The Garage is a single story hipped-roof structure with two automobile bays. It is clad with weatherboard and has an asphalt shingle roof. Studio (1935) The studio was built for Kathryn Gates, Rogers's daughter, who was a painter. It is a prefabricated structure made by E. F. Hodgson Company, and is a single story, asymmetrical Colonial Revival structure with a hipped roof and a small off-center small entry porch supported by classical columns. Stable The stable is a single story rectangular building with a front-gable wing at each end containing five stalls. The sides are clad with asbestos shingles and the roof with asphalt shingles. Maintenance Building The maintenance building is a single story structure with an additional on the rear and wings on each end. The main structure has a hipped roof, the wings have side-gable roofs, and the read addition has a shed roof. The entire roof is covered with asphalt shingles, and the majority of the building is clad with asbestos siding.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex

In research: Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1882, Colonial Revival architecture in Michigan, Historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places in Michigan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
