[This blog post combines history, drinking, and entrepreneurship](http://sanduskyhistory.blogspot.com/2016/04/cask-villa-in-vermilion.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Possibly the most enjoyable idiosyncratic thing I've seen on the web all year.

> During the 1920s, William J. O'Neill purchased over twenty wine casks from a wine wholesaler in Ohio. The casks were made from solid oak, and measured nine feet in length and twelve feet in diameter. Mr. O'Neill hired carpenters to put windows and a door in each wine cask, and to level the bottoms. Foundations were placed under each large barrel, and each was equipped with electricity, a stove and even a bathtub. The casks were painted, and a screened in porch attached to the front of the structures. Soon the “Cask Camp” served as a place for vacationing motorists to stop and spend the night along the old lake road between Vermilion and Sandusky. Eventually the unique group of cottages became known as “Cask Villa.”
