One of the handsomest of the new cottages at Saranac Lake, and also one of the most artistically finished and tastefully furnished, is that of Benson Bennett Sloan of New York, which occupies a commanding position on the brow of the hill overlooking the village and Lake Flower, with a mountain range extending to the left and south, a mile or so away. This cottage cost about $8,000.
