This pioneer cottage was built around 1895 for the family of retired farmer David Grover. After David’s death in 1906 at the age of 90, his widow Nancy and their son Henry continued to live in the house. Nancy Grover was noted for her church and community activities. The home is typical of the small gabled residences and summer homes built in Saratoga from the 1850s to the late 1890s, and its historical, character-defining architectural design represented the quaint charm of Saratoga Village.
