Blumenthal Cottage and Ralph Robins Memorial Cottage 
Blumenthal Cottage Trudeau Sanatorium Historic District, Reference Number 4
Year built: 1930
Architects: Scopes and Feustmann
Description: Blumenthal Cottage is a Tudor Revival style cottage designed by Scopes and Feustmann. This is a two and one-half story cottage under a steeply sloping cross-gabled roof. The foundation and first story are constructed of square-cut ashlar stone (with visible drill marks) laid in irregular courses. The second and attic stories are of half-timber and stucco. The roof is sheathed in asphalt. Windows tend to be grouped and contain either double-hung six-over-six or six-over-one sash. Above the small, open entry porch is a prominent gabled sleeping porch on the principal, south-facing facade.
History: Blumenthal Cottage had eight rooms for patients who were graduate and student nurses. In 1993 it was one of eight extant buildings built after 1915 when Dr. Trudeau died and the institution was renamed Trudeau Sanatorium. The architects Scopes and Feustmann were Saranac Lake sanatorium specialists; they designed Blumenthal in Tudor Revival style, similar to — and contemporary with — Mallinson Cottage on the opposite end of the property. 1
