Stevenson Cottage is a historic cure cottage located at Saranac Lake,the town of St. Armand in Essex County, New York. It was built between 1865 and 1866 and is a 1+1⁄2-story, L-shaped wood-frame building on a fieldstone foundation with wood-frame siding. Built as a residence, it was later adapted for use as a cure cottage.
