Architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The cottage is considered architecturally significant at the local level as a rare, intact example of a small mid-nineteenth century picturesque cottage in Roslyn. It reflects house types promoted by Davis, Downing and Vaux, with simple massing, board and batten siding and scroll-sawn ornament. It is the only survivor of a row of three similar cottages, probably built as tenant housing.","narrative":"Built around 1870 on a wooded hillside at the northeastern edge of Roslyn, this small frame house at 130 Mott Avenue rises one and a half stories and is clad in board and batten. Its principal facade faces north at the gable end, with a central entrance, a hipped-roof porch on four columns with scroll-sawn brackets, and decorative bargeboards and finials. A small kitchen extension projects from the rear. The cottage follows the picturesque cottage designs promoted by Davis, Downing and Vaux, which gained their appeal from simple plans, honest materials and modest ornament. It is the only survivor of a row of three similar cottages, which suggests they were built as tenant houses for a single employer. Such houses were once common in the village for workers. Despite a later two-story window bay, a modern foundation and replaced porch elements, it remains a rare intact example of the type and is valued locally for its architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Picturesque cottage tradition (Downing and Vaux)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Private residence in good condition; no threats known.
