First-floor porch shelters two single doors, at center; second-floor porch shelters single door, at center. Decorative rafter tails continuous at eaves. Side windows generally one-over-one double-hung wood windows. The cottage has been carefully rehabilitated since 1980.

History: The 1980 survey dated the cottage to ca.1875, which indicates the date of the original lot lease; the cottage’s scale and classic campground character suggest it is one of the early cottages built in the first few years of the Park’s operation.
