Shortly after his arrival in 1880, Henry Starke began building a bridge pier at the end of Lake Street. It eventually extended 1000 feet into Lake Michigan. The pier was exposed to Lake Michigan's moods, and the natural channel at the north end of Bar Lake was shallow and often filled with sand. In 1893, the new man-made channel provided reliable access to Arcadia's safe harbor.
