It also reflects Saranac Lake's role as a tuberculosis treatment resort, and it retains a high degree of integrity in materials, design, setting and association.","narrative":"Hillside Lodge is a one-story cure cottage on a 3.3-acre wooded hillside along Harrietstown Road, roughly a mile outside the village of Saranac Lake. Built about 1920, it is clad in cedar shingles, rests on a fieldstone foundation and has a hipped roof. A two-story hexagonal turret with a solarium marks the southern end. Across the front are two glass-enclosed cure porches with large windows, one original and one slightly larger. Inside, the rooms have beaded board walls and embossed metal or beaverboard ceilings, and a large fieldstone fireplace. The cottage was purchased about 1921 by George Hart for his niece Mary MacIntyre, who had tuberculosis. It was run as a private sanatorium in the early twentieth century and is still a residence. It is listed for its architecture and its link to health and medicine in Saranac Lake, where such cottages were built mainly between 1870 and 1930 to house tuberculosis patients undergoing outdoor cures. The building retains a high degree of integrity.","period_of_significance":"c.1920-c.1940","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th Century Revivals: Colonial Revival/Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Operated solely as a private sanatorium in the early twentieth century and continues in use as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.268626-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/92001467.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001467/7943644e8d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001467/7943644e8d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Mwanner","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hillside_Lodge,_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:Hillside_Lodge,_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/75313015","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillside_Lodge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5763955"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/franklin-county/hillside-lodge-92001467/"}
