By 1874 Cutler and Savidge had half a million dollars capital with which they organized the lumber company bearing their names and which became the largest in West Michigan. They had lumberyards in Michigan City, Indianapolis, South Bend, and Detroit and employed over 500 men. In 1871 Dwight erected the Cutler House, a five-story hotel on the southwest corner of Third and Washington Streets, opposite Sheldon's resort, built in the Second Empire style at a cost of $200,000. After it was destroyed in the fire of 1889, Dwight built another, smaller hotel on the same site and called it the New Cutler House. -- Wallace K.
