Coop Finds a Home
Norbert Blei was one of Door County's best-known writers. For almost 45 years, he wrote in his chicken coop-turned writing studio at his home in Ellison Bay. Norb passed away in 2013, at the time that Write On was getting started. The Blei family donated the Coop to Write On, with the understanding that it would be used by other writers in the spirit Norb intended. In August of 2015, the Coop was moved to Write On. It now stands in a sunny meadow and serves as a source of inspiration to Write On's residents as well as to members of our community. Blei's typewriters continue to serve as inspiration to visitors of the Coop.
