You can understand the motivation the builder had to finish this as quick as possible. 😳
– When you first see the Grand Hotel, what we’re about to tell you couldn’t possibly seem true.This is a facility that has seen five U.S. presidents, it has hosted Thomas Edison and Mark Twain, features a 660-foot porch and 397 guest rooms and has a large and luxurious dining area. The hotel on Mackinac Island is one of the most posh in the world.
The joy Caskey likely experienced when he initially was awarded the construction contract for a large hotel on Mackinac Island probably turned to some serious stress when he found out the desired timeline of completion. After borrowing a large sum of money, Caskey solved the first problem by agreeing to pay 600 workers double the standard wage back then, and he solved the second problem by using horses to sled lumber across the frozen waters that surrounded the island.
There was a temporary labor dispute, with workers eventually demanding triple wages, but Caskey didn’t back down and the pay scale remained double the standard wage.The ultimate motivation There’s no confirmation of that fact on the hotel’s website, but if it were true, Caskey missed getting that bonus by three days.
