Its multiple glazed cure porches, former extra-wide porch doors and other features reflect its use as a private sanitarium. It retains a high degree of integrity of setting, location, materials, design and association.","narrative":"Six Clinton Avenue in Saranac Lake is a gable-roofed wood-frame house on a steep side street behind Helen Hill, in an area of early twentieth-century residences built or adapted as sanatoria. Constructed between 1897 and 1900 as a single-family home, it was later enlarged with a series of cure porches on each floor, sheathed in clapboards below and shingles above. A 1917 survey showed no tuberculosis patients living here, but by 1925 it was a registered private sanitarium, operated by Marie Stuckman as a boarding cottage with care. Rooms with porches rented for roughly $23 to $30 a week. Traces of extra-wide porch doors, sliding glass panels and flat door sills remain from that use. The house is recognized as a representative example of the cure cottage, a local building type that grew out of ordinary residential architecture. It has kept a high degree of integrity despite its many additions, and the interior now holds apartments.","period_of_significance":"c.1925 - c.1930","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th Century Revivals: Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The interior has been divided into apartments, one per floor; current function is listed as single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.320893-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/92001459.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001459/bb98f2a249-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001459/bb98f2a249-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Mwanner","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stuckman_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:Stuckman_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/75313009","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuckman_Cottage","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7627499"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/franklin-county/stuckman-cottage-92001459/"}
