Twin Gables Cafe & Lounge has been a part of Brule Township since the
1930’s, with the reputation for being one of the best family restaurants in the
area. The original restaurant burned to the ground and was rebuilt in 1955. The
current building has changed hands more than once and seen many renovations
over the years.
Our goal is to continue the reputaion of Twin Gables while offering our
customers an exceptional dining experience. We offer good quality meals and
service to the families of this community, neighboring towns, tourists and
visitors that come to see the famous river town of Brule.

Evening Telegram, (now the Superior Telegram) dated Thursday May 31

COOLIDGE COMING TO BRULE FOR HIS SUMMER VACATION

Information that the president would summer to go to New England.
The date when President Coolidge will
come to Wisconsin is still undecided
but it will probably be soon after June
11, it was said at the white house.
President Calvin Coolidge will spend
his summer vacation on the Cedar Island lodge home of Henry Clay Pierce,
come to the Brule for his vacation and
would undoubtedly establish his offices in
Superior came like a bombshell to Upper
Wisconsin and Superior. There was absolutely no inkling that Coolidge was even
considering the Brule this year, although
he did consider it last year and decided
to summer at the Black Hills.
The estate surrounding the summer white
house comprises several thousand acres
mostly wooded but the actual living quarters of the president will be situated on
a small island little more than an acre in
area reached from the mainland by a narrow
footbridge.
The living quarters on the island consist of a one-story bungalow of white birch
bark and comprising eight bedrooms. The
dining room kitchen and servants’ quarters are in a corresponding bungalow on
the mainland at the opposite end of the
footbridge.
Altitude 1,000 Feet.
The estate is at an approximate altitude of 1,000 feet. It commended itself to
Mr. Coolidge, it is understood, for the
good fishing that is reported in the Brule
river. In addition, the temperature is
cool, thus meeting another of the requirements for a summer presidential residence.
The summer white house will be situated
in Douglas County and therefore near the
Canadian border. Its selection was unex-
A survey of residences offered him,
however, showed Cedar Island lodge to
be the one to offer the greatest opportunities for amusement and change from
Mr. Coolidge’s capital activities. His
pleasant experiences last summer in the
Black Hills of South Dakota were understood to have influenced him to make a
trip Westward.
Superior Headquarters.
The daily routine of President
Coolidge at Cedar Island lodge promises
to be very similar to that followed all
last summer in South Dakota. Superior
will take the place of Rapid City to
which Mr. Coolidge will have to motor
whenever any business is to be transacted.
Wonderful Stream
Fish abound in the Brule river, which
is called one of the best trout streams
in Wisconsin. The president will have
many opportunties to fish either in the
stream or in the nearby lakes. Brook
trout, speckled trout, rainbows and
steelheads are found in the Brule and
to catch 10-pound rainbows or steelheads is not uncommon.
The estate has a private station on
the line of the Duluth, South Shore and
Atlantic Railway. The president may get
to the twin ports in slightly more than
an hour over 34 miles of good roads.
