It is used as a single-family dwelling.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the cottage is an intact, representative example of Saranac Lake cure cottage architecture. Its cure porches, wide doorways and call bell system reflect its use in treating tuberculosis. Later alterations, such as the enclosed veranda, record the impact of the tuberculosis curing industry on the village's buildings.","narrative":"Built around 1900 on a steep terraced lot in Saranac Lake's French Hill neighborhood, this two-story wood-frame house was designed or adapted for tuberculosis patients. It has a square plan, a jerkin-head roof, clapboard siding, and a front veranda with turned columns, partly enclosed at one end. Above the veranda sits a glazed cure porch reached from the center bedroom through a wide door with a beveled sill. A call bell system once linked the porch to a bell near the kitchen, though the wires are now cut. A second-story sleeping porch has sliding panels. Inside, the original wainscoting, woodwork, newel post and floors remain, and a square arched opening with Doric columns joins the living and dining rooms. The house was listed as a representative example of Saranac Lake's cure cottages, which were mostly built between 1870 and 1930. Its porches and later alterations document how the tuberculosis cure shaped local housing, and it keeps a high degree of integrity.","period_of_significance":"ca.1900-ca.1930","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th Century Revivals: Colonial Revival/Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Historic and current use is a single-family dwelling; the form reports 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 02:50:44.987316-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/92001457.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001457/0f2b9346a8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001457/0f2b9346a8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Mwanner","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hathaway_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:Hathaway_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/75313013","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hathaway_Cottage","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5681449"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/franklin-county/hathaway-cottage-92001457/"}
