This cottage has a total of 20 rooms, plus 8 baths. There are 12 bedrooms, 2 kitchens (one for the servants), and a service elevator. It was erected around 1915 for Mrs. Hester E. Cantine Shrady of New York, widow of Dr. George Frederick Shrady of New York (born 1837 - died 1907). An eminent physician, Dr. Shrady was editor of the Medical Record, and Assistant Surgeon, U.S.A., during the War Between the States. He attended ex-President Grant, as consulting surgeon, in his last illness. Mrs. Shrady was the mother-in-law of Edwin Gould, a Jekyll Island Club member. Mr. Gould, who owned the Cottage 'Solterra' on Jekyll, was the son of the famous financier Jay Gould, who left an estate of over $60,000,000.
