This is the former home of William Donahey in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Donahey was the creator of the Teenie Weenies comic strip which ran in the Chicago Tribune Sunday section from 1914 to 1970. The Donahey's summer home was built along the shore of Lake Superior in 1926, modeled after the miniature oak cask packaging Teenie Weenie pickles.
