Queen Anne Victorian perfection! This is the Trotter Cottage on Grindstone Neck in Winter Harbor. The house was built in 1892 for one of the proprietors of the Gouldsboro Land Improvement Company, the group that developed the Grindstone Neck Summer Colony. Nathan Trotter (1852-1915) was a commission merchant from Philadelphia who made a name for himself there, eventually investing his money into real estate. He had Philadelphia-based architect Lindley Johnson, who also built other cottages on Grindstone Neck (including one for himself), to design this cottage for his family to visit for the summer seasons. The property became known as Park Cottage under later owner Eleanor Widener Dixon, she and her husband would summer here when not occupying their palatial Pennsylvania estate. Her father, George Dunton Widener and brother, Harry Elkins Widener both perished in 1912 aboard the Titanic. After the Titanic disaster, Eleanor’s mother presented to Harvard University the $2,000,000 Widener Memorial Library in memory of her son. Park Cottage is one of the finest cottages on Grindstone Neck.

Good day: The tower brings balance to the wings, for me; but what would you call the wing with all the windows? You didn’t write about the architecture, per se. Was that an intentional comma splice?
I enjoy learning about the cottages of Winter Harbor, but have hope that you will visit Framingham during a time when there seems to be a pathetic fallacy between the architecture and the weather, as often as it happens. Perhaps a half-mile away there is a cemetery with brown and red stone and gothic chapels, etc. I look forward to all your descriptions, if at a distance from now.
As always, thank you for your good work. I am envious of your work-life balance. In postscript, I hope you and yours enjoy the holiday/s and the holiday season.
Respectfully,
David Loring, York, PA, au currant
