It has the windows, veranda and cure porches typical of Saranac Lake cure cottages. It has had no significant alterations and retains a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Built in 1925 at 15 South Street in Saranac Lake, this three-story cottage was constructed as rental housing for people who came to the village to recover from tuberculosis. Each of its three floors holds a separate apartment with a nearly identical plan, and each has an enclosed cure porch about eight by ten feet. The porch doorways are forty-eight inches wide and have flat sills so beds could be rolled outside. The house has narrow clapboard and shingle siding, a metal roof with gables on all four sides, a gambrel end facing the street, and a veranda that extends into a porte-cochere. A two-room basement apartment is now vacant and may once have housed the owner. The cottage is recognized as a well-preserved example of the cure cottage type, which flourished in Saranac Lake between 1870 and 1930. It has undergone no significant alterations and keeps its original materials, design and association.","period_of_significance":"1925-c.1940","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The two-room basement apartment is described as now vacant; the building is otherwise listed with a current multiple dwelling use.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.874048-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/92001440.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001440/7bc85949f2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001440/7bc85949f2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Mwanner","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Partridge_Cottage,_Saranac_Lake,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Mwanner</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Partridge_Cottage,_Saranac_Lake,_NY.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"15000754","name":"Helen Hill Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/helen-hill-historic-district-15000754/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312908","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partridge_Cottage","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7140817"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/essex-county/partridge-cottage-92001440/"}
