Other information: A Queen Anne-style cure cottage with a wrap-around veranda that was once completely glazed. The 1917 health survey indicates TB patients in residence.

It was built in 1893 by John Ryan, a local guide and caretaker, who undoubtedly found work at the nearby Algonquin Hotel.

In the 1980s, it was the home of Herbert J. Clark.
