BENZONIA, Mich. (AP) A northern Michigan art studio that is a popular tourist destination has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The studio belonged to Gwen Frostic, who made stationery and prints from linoleum block carvings. The business began in Wyandotte in suburban Detroit in the 1950s before Frostic opened a shop in Frankfort and the Presscraft Papers studio in Benzonia in Benzie County.
Frostic died in 2001. The studio now is owned by Kim and Greg Forshee, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported.
The studio was nominated by Debra Ball Johnson, a historical architect with the State Historic Preservation Office. She recommended the studio for the National Register partly because few northern Michigan sites are associated with women.
