Zane Grey Family Compound Historic Structures Report
Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania

The six-acre Zane Grey family compound is where the famed
American Western-genre novelist and his extended family spent
six to eight months a year from 1904 to 1918. This area, historically
known as Cottage Point, is located in the Upper Delaware Valley of
Pennsylvania at the confluence of the Lackawaxen and Delaware
Rivers.

Zane Grey House, now a museum and Pike County tourist attraction,
is on the National Register of Historic Places. Four ancillary buildings
on the property—the Alice Josephine Grey house, the cottage
kitchen, the barn and the coal house—contribute to the historic

Owner landscape.
National Park Service
From 1988 to 2000, the National Park Service acquired the various
Architect structures, and in 2010 engaged a team led by John Milner Architects
John Milner Architects
to conduct a field survey and develop a Historic Structures Report
Size / Completion (HSR) addressing the ancillary buildings.
4,500 SF / 2011
The HSR, which identifies and documents their original appearance
and historic evolution, now serves as a guide for treatment
strategies to preserve original materials and systems and restore
the structures to their 1915 appearance.
