BARRIE COTTAGE - 1902

In 1902 Alvaro Adsit, Burlington merchant, sailboat builder and sailor, and amateur photographer, built a large cottage upon the next two lots along the shore and extended the property, well landscaped and gardened, up almost to the road. He sold in 1908 to Mrs. Alice Sprague of Brandon. That place was destroyed by fire in 1912 but Mrs. Sprague rebuilt it nearly identically with the original. She sold in 1922 to Mrs. Frank McCord of Flushing, NY. Her heirs transferred it in 1944 to Mr. G. Sabin Brush, and his in 1950 to Mr. A.W. Rutter of Burlington and Texas (El Paso and Midland). In 1975 he gifted the property to his children, and currently the large cottage is occupied by Charlene R. Barrie of Columbus, Ohio, and Alicean R. Kalteyer of Austin, TX, and their families. The smaller new cottage is occupied by Dorothy R. Engberg of Albuquerque, NM, and her family.
