It dates from around 1914 and is inspired by Queen Anne architecture.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the cottage is an intact, representative example of Saranac Lake cure cottage architecture, in which Queen Anne features were adapted for tuberculosis patients. Its glass-enclosed veranda and southwest-facing cure porches show this adaptation. It also reflects the village's health and medicine history, since the house was later divided into two flats for patients and their families.","narrative":"Built around 1914 at 183 Broadway in Saranac Lake, this two and one-half story wood frame house served as a private residence equipped for tuberculosis treatment. Its clapboard and shingle walls, irregular roofline, bracketed cornice and stained glass panels reflect Queen Anne influence. A one-story veranda with classical columns is enclosed by sliding glass panels, and a two-story cure porch faces the southwest to catch sun and fresh air. A 1917 health survey recorded a tuberculous patient living at the address, and by 1925 two families, each headed by a patient, shared the building, a common adaptation in the village. The house was apparently never registered with the local Tuberculosis Society and stayed a private home with curing facilities. It was listed as a representative cure cottage with a high degree of architectural integrity, important for its design and its link to the village's history as a tuberculosis health resort. A contributing garage stands at the rear of the lot.","period_of_significance":"ca.1914-ca.1940","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historic and current function is a single dwelling; the form says the building retains a high degree of integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.00988-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/92001453.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001453/84799f0a6b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001453/84799f0a6b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Mwanner","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ellenberger_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:Ellenberger_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/75313052","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellenberger_Cottage","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5365084"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/franklin-county/ellenberger-cottage-92001453/"}
