History of The Inn
And It's Rooms
This colonial revival house was
built in 1922 for Mr. John Sims, president of The Normal School, which is now
the University of
Wisconsin, Stevens
Point. This was the new white wood sided house of
the president located across the street from Normal School's main building.
Some time in the 1940's, the house was sold to Mr. & Mrs. Weldon Leahy.
Mr. Leahy was the prominent president of the Journal Printing Company and
publisher of the Stevens Point Journal newspaper. In the early 1950's, Mr.
Leahy contracted Helge Carlson, Ellis Stone
Company, to apply lannon stone over the wood
siding. This was one of the last jobs that Mr. Carlson did for Ellis Stone
Company. Alyce Mae Martin, Kathy's grandmother, was
married to Guy Martin. Guy's grandfather, Hiram, and his uncle, Jesse, were
instrumental figures in the beginnings of Stevens Point along with the founding
father, George Stevens. It is that history that inspired the Alyce Mae Martin guest room.
