Windjammer Apts. Ad – March 1970

Yesterday I posted an ad for Lakeside Ten Apartments from the pages of the Journal fifty years ago this month. Today’s post features an ad for one of its lakefront competitors.

About a mile and a half to the west of Lakeside Ten in Sheffield Lake are the Windjammer Apartments, located at 4141 Lake Road. Windjammer Apartments also took out an ad in that same Journal advertising section on March 1, 1970. It’s kinda classy with its woodcut illustration of – what else? – a windjammer.

I’ve always liked the location of Windjammer Apartments. They're right next to the library (perfect for a blogger), as well as a liquor store (possibly perfect for a blogger), and across the street from a shopping center. 
A few years ago when I was apartment-shopping, I had hoped to get in, but the symbolic ‘No Vacancy’ sign was lit up. 
Anyway, like The Perch on Lake, the Windjammer Apartments are still attractive and well-maintained. 
Unlike Lakeside Ten, however, the property still has its original name, which is always a nice thing.
