Exterior stabilization work at the historic Lippincott Cottage at Johnstown Flood National Memorial is ongoing. A contractor working under the direction of the National Park Service's Historic Preservation Training Center is on site to replace the roof and gutters to ensure that the building is weather tight and to keep water away. This work will extend into January with further work taking place in the spring.The Lippincott Cottage was once a lakefront structure owned by Jesse Lippincott, a member of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. Lippincott was a glassmaker and invested in the Bell Telephone and phonograph industry. This cottage was built in 1885 and is owned by the National Park Service.
