The Fields, which opened in Spring of 1997, offers Bloomington a new lifestyle experience providing unparalleled apartment homes on an exciting 58 acres of grounds, replete with resort-style pool, extensive gardens, and two on-site lakes. A unique combination of inspired design, fine craftsmanship and concerted effort all contributed to make the project possible. The Clubhouse Barn covers 20,000 square feet of floor space, with a 24-foot ceiling. It was constructed soon after World War II by Bloomington business baron Ralph Rogers, who owned, among other businesses, the Rogers Building Company. On this family-run farm, he raised prize cattle, paying a record setting $35,000 for the famous bull, Baca Duke XXXIII, in 1953; as one of the original residents of The Fields, his portrait, (Baca Duke’s that is) has been placed in a position of honor on the entry wall.
The original Fishin’ Shedd building as shown was built in 1967, doors opened April 1st 1968. In the early years of operation basic inventory consisted of bait, tackle, groceries and gas. As years progressed boat and motor rentals, sales and service were added and continued until fall of 1992, at that time a complete and new gasoline facility was added due to very heavy demand for increased service and supply. At this time the boat rental facility was turned over to my son and was moved to Paynetown State Recreation Area. Currently all the family is involved with some aspect of the business including Outback Marine.
