Description & Additional Information


Frame cottage, 1 ½ stories, three-bay facade, with rectangular footprint and front-gabled roof. Foundation concealed by horizontal board skirting; vertical board and clapboard siding; asphalt shingle roof. Two-story, full-width front porch. First-floor porch has square posts, flared solid clapboard- sided rail, pierced brackets, pierced trim, plain frieze band. Second-floor porch has square posts, no rail. Gable has brackets, decorative beams, decorative truss and flat-sawn trim, modest decoration at vergeboard. Vertical board siding at front facade; clapboard at sides. First-floor porch shelters single door, at center, one two-over-two window at either side. Second-floor porch shelters single door, at center. Recessed entry porch at each side. Side windows generally two-over-two double-hung wood windows. Front-gabled addition at rear. Highly decorative rail at second-floor porch removed, permit requested for replacement railing. Cottage had a one-story rear wing as of the 1924 Sanborn, subsequently compatibly expanded to two stories, with recessed side entries on north and south sides. This is a good example of the simple form of early campground cottages built in the first few years of the Park’s existence.
