A Composers Cottage was built south-east of the Filene Center. The Cottage was envisioned by Mrs. Shouse to be a place where artists could create music and other performing arts as they spent time being immersed and inspired by their surroundings. However, the Cottage was lost to a fire in 1979 and was never rebuilt.
