The 1936 restoration turned the Cottage into a romanticized version of the house’s original configuration. Workers enclosed the back porch and added a sweeping front porch with quaint white shutters. They replaced siding and flooring, electrified the building, added corner cabinets, and finished by coating the building with white and grey paint. The log joists and framing and a few interior boards were virtually all that remained of the original structure. Many items in this hallway hint at the history of this Cottage’s multiple restorations and the changing lives of the family who called it home.
