This home, which originated as a Victorian cottage in 1893, was purchased by Dr. Peter Rouse Cortelyou (1843-1902) for his son, Adrian Voorhees Cortelyou (1876-1956) circa 1901. After a fire in the 1920s, it was remodeled to its present two-story Colonial Revival/Georgian appearance. Dr. Cortelyou came to Georgia from Brooklyn, New York, in 1879 to treat a lung condition and became one of the most renowned physicians of his time in the Southeast. Adrian Cortelyou was best known as the vice-president of the Georgia Marble Company. The house remains in the family to this day.
