“ Mohican Cottage " 
“MOHICAN COTTAGE” 
BOLTON-LANDING-ON-LAKE-GEORGE, NEW YORK 
Designed by Wilson Eyre. 
H I S re- 
c e n t 1 y 
com p 1 e t e d 
residence 
stands on the 
site of the 
old Mohican 
H ouse, said to 
be the oldest 
building on 
Lake George 
and a famous 
landmark tor 
more than 
a century. 
Many tradi¬ 
tions have 
been handed 
down concerning its history, for it existed 
not only during the War of the Revolution, 
but passed through the earlier struggles 
between set- 
tiers and 
Indians that 
were waged 
throughout 
northern and 
western New 
York. When 
the property 
came into the 
hands of the 
present owner, 
Mr. William 
K. Bixby, of 
St. Louis, he 
aimed to pre¬ 
serve the his¬ 
toric old 
house, if by any means it could be made 
available as a summer residence; but this 
proved impossible.
