Caption: Otsego Hall
Additional Description: When James Fenimore Cooper purchased and remodeled Otsego Hall, his ancestral home, he created one of the first Gothic revival buildings in the United States. The most notable changes were the addition of window "drip" moldings and crenellated parapets that look like fortress walls. This model was created by George Pomeroy Keese (1828-1910), a great-nephew of Cooper, largely from memory in 1896 and is on display in the Fenimore Art Museum.
