Description & Additional Information


Frame cottage, two stories on a tall basement, with gable-and-wing configuration. Oriented facing the water (south). Prominent stone pier and concrete block foundation; clapboard siding; metal roof. Deck spans front (south) and west sides, partially covered by wraparound hip roof at front-gabled section connecting to a shallow pent roof spanning front of wing; deck is raised above the sloping site on broad stone-faced piers. Bands of tall casement or picture windows and sliding glass doors open onto deck; bands of tall casement windows at second floor, with central half-round fanlight over band of windows at second floor of front gable end. Broad shed-roofed wall dormer at right (northeast) wing with another band of casement windows. One-story bay window with shed roof at right side. Side windows generally wood casement windows. One-story gable-roofed wings extend to the west and north. One of a handful of year-round residences in Thousand Island Park. According to the 1980 survey form, this cottage was built circa 1925; an update to the form notes it was extensively altered in 1988. The 1988 alterations were so extensive that nothing but the general gable-and-wing shape suggests it was not entirely replaced at that time. Noncontributing due to extensive alterations that conceal historic character.
