Cottage is located on a point near the east end of Thousand Island Park, and was being extensively rehabilitated in accordance with Preservation Board guidelines and approval at the time of the survey. Poured concrete foundation; siding had been removed at time of survey, to be replaced with cedar shingles; roofing had also been removed, to be replaced with metal roofing panels, standing-seam style. Primary roof form is a two-pitched gable roof, steeper at center than at sides, with prominent shed dormers to either side. One-story gable-roofed wing extends to the southeast, with broad bank of windows facing the water: wide picture window flanked by six-over-one double-hung sash. Deck wraps around the rest of the southeast and southwest sides; deck was being rebuilt and expanded at time of survey.
