It includes a large Stick and Shingle Style residence built 1884-1888, plus outbuildings on the shore of Cazenovia Lake.","why_significant":"The estate is argued to be an outstanding early example of the large summer mansions built by wealthy clients near Cazenovia Lake, and an eclectic design by New York architect George Browne Post. It was the first of the large lakeshore estates on the east shore and set an architectural standard for later ones. It also reflects Cazenovia's change from an agricultural village to a summer resort community.","narrative":"Cedar Cove is a former summer estate on the shore of Cazenovia Lake, about a mile north of Cazenovia village in Madison County, New York. Designed in 1884 and completed in 1888, its two-and-a-half-story shingled main house mixes Shingle, Eastlake, Queen Anne and Stick Style details. Three historic outbuildings survive: a carriage house, a stone-and-half-timbered boathouse and a gardener's cottage, along with steps from a vanished greenhouse. New York merchant Joseph Dodridge Peet commissioned the estate from architect George Browne Post, and local builder Henry H. Potter constructed it. It was the first of the large estates on the lake's east shore and became the benchmark for later ones, including Ormonde and Notleymere. Its wood shingles were used on an unprecedented scale in Cazenovia. From 1891 to 1937 the property belonged to Troy businessman Henry Burden. It reflects the town's rise as a resort for wealthy city residents.","period_of_significance":"1884-1937","architect_builder":"Architect: George Browne Post; Builder: Henry H.
