It was the home of Maurice Feustmann of the firm Scopes & Feustmann. It incorporates features typical of Saranac Lake cure cottages, including multiple cure porches, call bells and wide doors.","narrative":"This gambrel-roofed, shingled house at 28 Catherine Street in Saranac Lake was built in 1923 as the home of Maurice Feustmann, an architect who came to the village to cure his tuberculosis. Trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, he became a partner in Scopes & Feustmann, one of the village's most prolific firms, whose work included the Harrietstown Town Hall, the Hotel Saranac and several sanatorium buildings. His own residence follows the cure cottage type, with three cure porches, French doors, interior ventilating windows, wide doors and a call bell system. Many original light fixtures, mantels, paneled doors and kitchen fittings survive. The house is significant because it was both designed by and built for a tuberculosis patient who understood the needs of patients, and it reflects design ideas found in advanced sanatoria of its day. A shingled garage on the lot also contributes.","period_of_significance":"1923","architect_builder":"Maurice Feustmann","architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th Century Revivals: Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a single dwelling; many original features such as light fixtures, paneled doors, the cast iron kitchen sink and call bell systems remain.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.546144-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/92001455.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001455/424dc7681e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001455/424dc7681e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Mwanner","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Feustmann_Cottage.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:Feustmann_Cottage.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/75312999","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feustmann_Cottage","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5446046"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/franklin-county/feustmann-cottage-92001455/"}
