Its history reflects houses built for the wealthiest patients, used by the original owner and then rented or sold as a cure cottage. It was never converted to multi-patient use and keeps its integrity as a single-family house.","narrative":"Crowning Petrova Hill in Saranac Lake, this two-story shingled house was built around 1907 as a private cure cottage for a single wealthy tuberculosis patient. Anna Worth Sloan commissioned the design from the local firm of Coulter and Westoff. It sits on a wooded lot of about 18 acres at the end of a 670-foot driveway that begins at a pair of stone gate posts. The house has a fieldstone foundation, wood-shingle siding with half-timbering above, a red asphalt roof, and an irregular cross-gabled form. Cure features include a first-floor screened sitting-out porch and a sleeping porch above it. Inside are oak floors and woodwork, a beamed living room with built-in bookcases, and a Mission-style light fixture. Later owners rented it as a cure cottage, yet it was never converted to multi-patient use. That history is representative of homes built for the wealthiest patients, and the house remains a single-family dwelling that has kept its integrity.","period_of_significance":"ca.1907-ca.1940","architect_builder":"Coulter and Westoff","architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th Century Revivals: Tudor Revival/Shingle style","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; the entrance gate has been removed, the sleeping porch has been enclosed, and the original pocket doors are missing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.453603-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/92001442.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001442/a441084575-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001442/a441084575-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Mwanner","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sloan_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:Sloan_Cottage,_Saranac_Lake,_NY.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"93001451","name":"New York Central Railroad Adirondack Division Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/new-york-central-railroad-adirondack-division-historic-district-93001451/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313028","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloan_Cottage","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7541051"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/franklin-county/sloan-cottage-92001442/"}
