<p>The Stevenson Cottage is a historic house in the village of Saranac Lake, in the town of St. Armand, Essex County, New York. It currently serves as a museum dedicated to the life of the author Robert Louis Stevenson. Originally known as Baker Cottage, Stevenson took up residence there during the winter of 1887-88 while seeking treatment for lung disease. The site was dedicated to Stevenson and the preservation of his legacy when the Stevenson Society of America, Inc. was formed, on October 30, 1915. The cottage currently remains in the possession of the Stevenson Society and continues to serve as a memorial and museum to Stevenson’s life.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The cottage is a 1⁄2-story, L-shaped wood-frame building on a fieldstone foundation with wood-frame siding.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Baker Cottage was originally built in 1855 by Col. Milote Baker for his employee, Ebenezer Griffith. By 1866 the property was vacant, and Baker’s son, Andrew Jackson Baker, moved into the two-story cabin with his new bride, Mary. Andrew proceeded to build off the cabin on the north and south sides, giving the Cottage its present-day appearance. Andrew also built a farm around the cottage with corn fields, chicken coops, and livestock. As part of the expansion, Baker’s friend Alfred Donaldson encouraged him to build an open fireplace, only the second in the area, and agreed to take on half the cost.</p><br>
<p>This was the primary residence for the Baker family for 58 years, and it also headquartered Baker’s Adirondack guide business. In the spring, Baker would set up tents in his yard that city-dwelling Adirondack enthusiasts could use as a base for their excursions into the wilderness, often guided by Baker himself. The “Adirondack Club” – which included Ralph Waldo Emmerson, William James Stillman, James Russell Lowell, and Louis Agassiz – would sometimes stay with the Bakers, before traveling deeper into the Adirondack wilderness to the “Philosopher’s Camp,” which first gathered in July of 1858, at Follansbee Pond.</p><br>
<h2>The Stevenson Expedition</h2><br>
<p>In 1887, Robert Louis Stevenson was advised by Dr. George Balfour (Stevenson’s uncle and doctor) to travel to the American Rocky Mountains for his health. Stevenson, an invalid, suffered from a myriad of health conditions, and the prevailing thought at the time was that clean air was beneficial to victims of Tuberculosis, like Stevenson was presumed to be. Following Balfour’s recommendation, Stevenson, as well as his wife, stepchildren, and mother, boarded the steamship Ludgate Hill on the Thames, with the goal of reaching New York, and then Colorado. This plan was interrupted, however, as Stevenson developed a cold before the steamship made it to New York. For the author, colds often preceded hemorrhaging events from his diseased lungs. Fearing that Stevenson wouldn’t make it to Colorado, a New York City lung doctor advised Stevenson to instead turn his sights to the Adirondack Sanitorium in Saranac Lake, run by Dr. E. L. Trudeau, who became the founder of the American Lung Association. It was nearer, cheaper, and had plenty of clean mountain air. Stevenson’s wife Fanny and stepson Lloyd Osbourne were sent ahead to find a place for the family to stay. They found it by way of an “accidental meeting”, as described by Andrew Baker’s daughter, Bertha:</p><br>
<p>“Papa was on his way to town and on reaching the village, he saw one of his neighbors standing in the street talking to Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson. It seems this gentleman had just given directions to Mrs. S. as to finding our house. He then said that she could speak with Papa since he was coming. She did so and arrangements were made for rental of the house”.</p><br>
<p>The rest of the Stevenson expedition arrived on 3 October, 1887.</p><br>
<p>Though the Bakers typically covered the open fireplace during the winter to keep the heat from the several wood stoves from escaping, Stevenson greatly enjoyed spending time around it, and asked to keep it open throughout the winter. While at Baker Cottage, Stevenson referred to it as the “Hunter’s Home” and did what he could to maintain the illusion of a hunting lodge, such as refusing to cover their table with a cloth and wearing Native American-made winter clothes made from bison. When writing to his friend Will Low, he said, “I have to trouble you and your wife to come and slumber. Not now however: I won’t have you until I have a buffalo robe and leggings, lest you should want to paint me as a plain man, which I am not, but a rank Saranacker and wild man of the woods”.</p><br>
<p>While at Baker Cottage, Stevenson could often be found in bed. Dr. E. L. Trudeau wrote of finding him there, “his long legs drawn up for a table, his head propped forward by pillows; in one hand a pencil, in the other a cigarette; sheets of scribbled paper everywhere, the windows shut, the room stuffy with stove heat and tobacco smoke. Stevenson was already a literary celebrity when he arrived in Saranac Lake and continued to write while at the cottage. In the six-and-a-half months he spent at Baker’s, Stevenson wrote half of The Master of Ballantrae, as well as a series of twelve essays: “A Chapter on Dreams,” “The Lantern Bearers,” “Beggars,” “Pulvis et Umbra,” “Gentleman,” “Some Gentlemen in Fiction,” “Popular Authors,” “Epilogue to An Inland Voyage,” “Letters to a Young Gentleman,” “Contributions to the History of Fife” “The Education of an Engineer” and “A Christmas Sermon.” He also co-authored The Wrong Box with his stepson Lloyd Osbourne. While in Saranac Lake, he planned a voyage to the South Seas and was commissioned by Sam McClure to write about it. McClure agreed to finance the expenses of Stevenson’s yacht in return. It was with sights set on the South Seas that the Stevenson expedition left Baker Cottage behind on 16 April, 1888, and Stevenson would ultimately settle in Samoa for the last five years of his life.</p><br>
<h2>The Stevenson Society of America</h2><br>
<p>Despite Baker Cottage’s long history as a destination for tourists looking to enjoy a controlled wilderness experience, it was Stevenson’s winter there that the cottage came to be known for. Literary pilgrims made their way to the Bakers’ home to see where Stevenson had lived, touch the furniture he had used, and ask the Bakers questions about the author. Two such pilgrims were writer Stephan Chalmers and Robert H. Davis, columnist for the New York Sun. In August 1914, they visited the cottage and were taken with the idea that it would be the perfect place for a memorial plaque in Stevenson’s memory. With the Bakers’ approval, they formed the Stevenson Memorial Committee, which included Associated Press founder, Charles Palmer, Gutzon Borglum, who would go on to sculpt Mt. Rushmore, and William Morris Sr., a theatrical agent and manager who founded the William Morris Agency.</p><br>
<p>The unveiling of the plaque also marked the formation of a permanent Stevenson Society. In 1916, the Society leased two rooms from the Bakers for public showing and filled them with various artifacts from Stevenson’s life. Interest in the Society grew rapidly as news outlets and magazines began spreading news of the Saranac Lake Memorial project. Friends and family of Stevenson approved of the memorial and Society, with many of them donating artifacts to the museum. The Stevenson Society also began to hold annual meetings, the 1928 meeting attracting upwards of 400 attendees.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, the Society lengthened its name from Stevenson Society to the Stevenson Society of America, Inc. Following the Bakers’ passing in 1924, ownership of the house transferred to their son-in-law, Joseph H. Vincent, who summarily evicted the Stevenson Society, who then transferred the various artifacts to the local library and the Adirondack National Bank for safekeeping. Under the leadership of then-president of the Society, Col. Walter Scott, a deal was struck with Vincent, and the society purchased the property and everything in it in 1925.</p><br>
<p>The Cottage was maintained by the Stevenson Society until 1951, when due to financial strains caused by the Great Depression and World War II, the ownership of the museum was turned over to the Village of Saranac Lake, while the Stevenson Society maintained ownership of the collection of artifacts and was responsible for holding annual meetings. In 1972, ownership of the property reverted to the Society, after the new village mayor, John Brewster, relinquished ownership in the name of cutting Village costs. The then-president John F. Delahant took on an increased workload and even supported the Cottage with his personal funds in order to ensure its continued survival.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The site has hosted the Stevenson Cottage Museum since the founding of the Stevenson Society, in 1915, making it the first Stevenson museum to open and the world’s first dedicated Stevenson site. Its collection includes original furniture from Stevenson’s stay, scrapbooks with large sections of the author’s works, garments worn by Stevenson, and paintings and photographs of him and his family.</p><br>
<p>In 2024, a new Board of Directors was established, including a new president, Trenton B. Olsen, and members Phillip Lopate, Carla Manfredi, and Nicholas Rankin, in an effort to preserve the museum’s future.</p><br>
<p>The museum is open between 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM every day of the week except Monday, when it is closed. It is open for walk-in visits from July 1 to mid-October but is also open throughout the year by appointment with the resident curator. General admission is $10 and free for children under 12. The Museum also offers different levels of membership.</p><br>

<p>The Lenawee County Courthouse is a county courthouse located at 309 North Main Street  in the city of Adrian in central Lenawee County, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on November 14, 1974, and later added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 28, 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Lenawee County Courthouse is located at the corner of M-52 (known locally at this point as North Main Street) and West Front Street. West Front Street also carries the M-52 signage as it turns to form the northern edge of the USA Route 223 business loop around the Downtown Adrian Commercial Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When Lenawee County was first organized in 1826, its county seat was the newly established village of Tecumseh. When Tecumseh lost the county seat to Adrian in 1838, a new courthouse was built in Adrian. That courthouse burned down in 1852, and court was held in a series of temporary locations until the funds were raised to build a permanent replacement. However, ballot proposals to raise the funds were several times defeated, until in 1882 the necessary money was finally committed. The new courthouse was designed by Toledo, Ohio native Edward Fallis, who designed many courthouses in several states. In 1884, the county hired Allen & VanTassel of Ionia to construct the building for $47,460. However, costs were overrun, and Allen & VanTassel turned the work over to their bondsmen, Knapp, Avery & Co. Despite some legal wrangling, the courthouse was completed the next year.</p><br>
<p>Since then, it has served as the seat of the county government. Despite its numerous interior alterations, the courthouse remains one of the most impressive of Michigan&#39;s surviving late nineteenth-century courthouses.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lenawee County Courthouse was built in the style of Romanesque Revival architecture, and one year after its construction, Fallis used it as a model for his design of Ohio&#39;s Paulding County Courthouse. The building measures 134 feet by 108 feet, and has a central tower rising 132 feet above the ground. A main hipped roof is crossed by a secondary hipped roof; the tower rises from the juncture of the gables and is capped with a mansard roof and a domed cupola.</p><br>
<p>The foundation is of rusticated stone, and rises six feet from the ground. Above the foundation is a beltcourse of Stony Point sandstone, and above that is the main brickwork, formed of red brick with white mortar. The building entryways are gabled with large arches below. The arches contain a double window topped by a semicircular fanlight. The entrance is through a set of carved double doors.</p><br>

<p>The Jefferson Avenue–Huron River and Harbin Drive–Silver Creek Canal Bridges are two separate bridges, sharing a continuous railing, that were jointly listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 10, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson Avenue Bridge carries West Jefferson Avenue (known south of the river as the USA Turnpike) across the Huron River, which connects Brownstown Charter Township in Wayne County to Berlin Charter Township in Monroe County. Along with the Clinton–Kalamazoo Canal and Main Street Historic District, it is one of three properties listed on the National Register in Michigan to span two counties. The Harbin Drive Bridge is located entirely within Wayne County. Both bridges are located about one mile (0.6 km) inland from Lake Erie on a historically important route between Detroit and Toledo. The Jefferson Avenue Bridge is also designated as a Michigan Historic Site.</p><br>
<h2>Jefferson Avenue Bridge</h2><br>
<p>The larger of the two bridges is the three-span Jefferson Avenue Bridge. It is 165 ft long and 36 ft wide. It carries a two-lane road, known as West Jefferson Avenue north of the river and as the USA Turnpike south of the river. It was built in 1930 by the Michigan Department of Transportation and replaced an earlier hand drawn swing bridge. The new beam bridge was built high enough to ensure it could remain stationary and still allow small vessels to pass beneath it. Due to its age, the bridge&#39;s structure has deteriorated in recent years, but the driving road surface was repaired as recently as 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Harbin Drive Bridge</h2><br>
<p>The Harbin Drive Bridge is a much smaller bridge at only 45 ft long and 27 ft wide. It carries the sparsely traveled Harbin Drive over the Silver Creek Canal, which drains into the Huron River. It is located just north of the Jefferson Avenue Bridge, and the two are connected by a continuous railing. The Harbin Drive Bridge was actually constructed a few years earlier than the Jefferson Avenue Bridge, although this exact construction date is unknown. Harbin Drive is a gravel road that connects a few residential dwellings on a narrow island in the river.</p><br>
