I just discovered your history of Basil Bishop. I live in New Russia, NY just down the road from the bishop family home and next door to the Boquet Cemetery where the Bishops are buried. DO you have a photo of Basil?

Basil Bishop was a nephew of my 3 greats-grandfather Samuel Bishop. Samuel was a younger brother of Elijah Bishop. Your blog on the “Iron Pioneers” was great and full of information. I am trying to follow up on Basil and the letters on file with the Historical Society in hopes of finding some more personal information about my family that letters often contain. We live less than 3 hours from Marquette and are now planning a “research trip”, if the snow ever melts, instead of our usual “sightseeing” adventure.

Thanks for the correction, Joe. I knew that – slip of the fingers – I’ll get it fixed asap.

Excellent way of explaining, and fastidious piece of writing to get data about my presentation focus,
which i am going to deliver in school.

Thanks for the quick reply, Tyler. I’ll do a bit of digging for the bronze substructure info. Maybe we can wangle a visit.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the comment. I think you’re referring to a 1995 issue of Architectural Digest. It’s quoted briefly at: http://www.privateislandsonline.com/islands/granot-loma-lodge-and-island
I did not know about the bronze substructure or door you mention. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the privilege of visiting it. Louis Kaufman was a principal financier, however, of the Empire State Building, so it’s likely the plans were finalized there at Granot Loma.

Thanks for reading my blog.

Best wishes,

Tyler Tichelaar

Tyler,
I recall reading a piece in Architectural Record or Architectural Digest a while back, can’t recall which one, that talked about the construction of Granot Loma. The piece stated that it was built around a bronze substructure, the front door was massive, but so well balanced it would move with the push of a finger. I also recall reading that the plans for the Empire State building were finalized there. Are you familiar with those facts? Do you by chance have a reference to the article I mention?

Thanks from an interested Michigander.
