Historical Background

This building was originally the guest house for 9215 Cottage Row [35/27]. Set into a hill, the basement contains a garage where the family boat was stored in the winter. The original guest house is now the living room of the existing house.

Historical Significance

As with the other summer residences on Cottage Row, this property represents the pattern of living of wealthy urban midwesterners seeking to escape the heat of the cities. Mothers and children would spend the entire summer in Fish Creek, while the fathers would visit as their business schedules would allow. In some cases, several generations and family branches would share the same house.

Architectural Description

This Tudor Revival house has received extensive additions.

Architectural Significance

The home was only intended for summer use.
