In Saranac Lake, the Evans Cottage stood just north of the Linwood and was built in the classic Adirondack style with a wrap-around front porch where clients such as Mr. Edgar, the first tuberculosis patient in Saranac Lake, sat in the open air for the tuberculosis cure. The Evans Cottage was later replaced by the five-and-dime stores Newberry's and F.W. Woolworth at the site where Sears is now located. Dr. E.L. Trudeau came to Saranac Lake for a visit and remained to become one of the first leading researchers seeking a cure for tuberculosis, and his Saranac Laboratory is on Church Street. In 1881, Linwood Cottage stood with a vast lawn amid the bustle of downtown; originally built as a cure cottage for tuberculosis patients, it later operated as a boarding house until 1954 and hosted figures including New York Governor Roswell P. Flower, Jack Dempsey, and Christy Mathewson, who is said to have worn out many checker boards playing with Sandy McRay while staying there. South of the Linwood, the former Charles Green Market still stands and now houses apartments and retail businesses while retaining the detailed architecture of Saranac Lake's early days.
