Location DB > United States > New York > Tahawus > Village of Adirondak > November 2003 > 1820s Mcnaughton home(1).jpg 2 / 11   1820s Mcnaughton home(1).jpg Description This is the McNaughton cottage. It is part of the Tahawus Club. Theodore Roosevelt was staying in this home when he discovered he need to get to Buffalo because President McKinley had been shot. This is one of the only buildings that is verifiably from the 1800's. The rest may or may not be, but many have been used by NL employees as housing so it is difficult to track their lineage. The McNaughton cottage was also a bank at one time (we didn't find any money). The state or some agency really needs to preserve this site as its historical value is significant. In fact, someone should preserve the adjacent NL mine as its contribution to WWII was siginificant as well.

Posted by otetiani 8/3/2004 3:28 AM | remove   The August 2004 issue of the New York State Conservationist mentions preservation plans for this structure. With how slow NYS moves though, it may be years before a deal with the Open Space Institute and the State makes this happen. Posted by Samurai 8/3/2004 6:39 AM | remove   meanwhile, these buildings continue to deteriorate to nothing more than rubble. I have photos from 1999-2000 and these house were in much better shape... Posted by otetiani 9/23/2004 4:42 PM | remove   I give it about five years max before it is just a pile of rubble. BTY, I caught a group of guys bottle hunting around the town and they found quite a trove! Posted by Samurai 9/23/2004 4:49 PM | remove   weirdest thing i ever found out there was one jungle boot... just one, have no idea where the other went... of course this was also at 2am, so we were creeped. Posted by metalwitch40 10/10/2004 3:24 PM | remove   Usually by the time the "state",(could be any state), wants to preserve something historical, the weeds and the earth have claimed such structures to be their own once again!!! Posted by otetiani 12/23/2004 2:38 PM | remove   Its all just politics. I doubt many of them really care as we do.
