Bartlett Real Estate Office
The town is a small community at the southernmost tip of Lake Michigan, 40 miles (64 km) southeast of Chicago, Illinois. About 4,000 years ago, the dunes formed as a result of the formation of large bays, which silted up. In Beverly Shores, roads had to be graded through and over the dunes, and some areas were leveled off for development. The town is now an island of private homes surrounded by the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, a federal park administered by the National Park Service. Across Broadway is the original Beverly Shores South Shore Railroad Station. The station was the first point of contact for prospective clients of Bartlett's, and it presented a unified appearance to the development to clients, with its stuccoed Mediterranean Revival exterior.
