Description
editThe Mackay Estate Dairyman's Cottage was designed about 1902 by architects Warren and Wetmore in an eclectic style. It is a 2+1⁄2-story frame house with a brick first floor set on a rubble base. It features a steep flaring roof, small dormers with steep roofs, deep projecting eaves, and rows of rectangular windows with flat brackets, giving it a strong Japanese feel. The building was originally a component of Clarence Mackay's Harbor Hill Estate.[2] It was later the residence of lyricist Hal David.[3]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1] It is one of three remaining Harbor Hill Estate buildings which were listed at that time – the others being the Mackay Estate Gate Lodge and the Mackay Estate Water Tower.
