Porch roof to come down
FOX LAKE – The roof of the porch that stretches across the lakefront side of the historical Mineola Hotel is coming down.
The columns were replaced during the last round of renovations by owner Pete Jakstas Sr. in an effort to keep the restaurant open, but they’re rotting from the bottom up, he said.
When weather allows, Jakstas, 75, of Fox Lake, has been taking down the porch roof and storing it so that if a buyer comes along with plans to renovate, the porch can be restored.
