that allows access to Otsego Lake. Once known as the
Cooper Quarantine House, the original Victorian residence
dates to 1856 and has Gothic revival architecture. An
addition was added in 1918. In the original section there
is a formal living room, dining room with French doors to
the enclosed porch, a master bedroom, study and full
bath. On the first floor of the addition a large kitchen
