History and description
editThe one and one-story cabin was designed by architect Herb Smith and built using American chestnut wood. The lumber was taken from standing dead trees by Lake Wallkill, a result of the chestnut blight of the early 1920s. It features the architectural style of real estate developers John R. Seckler and S. Clayton Shepperd. The 1934 cottage was originally owned by Sarah G. Evans. In 1949, it was owned by Lawrence J. Waters and Alberta Waters.[3]
