History
At the close of the nineteenth
century, Grand Rapids was home to
some of the era’s most prosperous
businessmen – kings of lumbering with
names like Blodgett, Comstock, Ball, and
Quimby – who made their fortunes
logging the heavily timbered forests of
West Michigan. Many of the lavish homes
built by these “lumber barons” stand yet
today in the historic Heritage Hill district,
their architecture and craftsmanship
recalling the magnificence of a bygone
age.
Reminiscent of this turn of the
century opulence, the Lumber Baron Bar
made its debut in 1981 inside the new
Amway Grand Plaza Hotel. With its richly
appointed interior, the original Lumber
Baron evoked the style and traditions of
a grand time in our city’s past.
This gracious atmosphere was ideal
for a historic 1981 meeting billed as the
“Grand Rapids Summit.” While in town for
the dedication of the Gerald R. Ford
Museum,
President
Ronald
Reagan,
Canadian Prime Minister Elliot Trudeau, and
President José Lopez Portillo of Mexico
met in a session that laid the groundwork
for future cooperation among their three
nations.
