Elmer Sharbell a Lebanese immigrant, ran a fish market and seafood shipping business, a hotel, several sawmills, various stores, and was heavily involved in the silver fox industry, making Portage a booming place in his day. Elmer bought his house in Egmont Bay in 1920 and set out to haul it across the ice to Portage. Breaking through at one point near the shore, the 2 1/2-storey structure sat on the bottom of the Bay for the remainder of the winter until a rescue operation involving 26 teams of horses and more than 50 men succeeded in raising the house and pulling it to its present location. The seller will provide a $5,000. cash back at closing towards upgrade som (id:57557)
