Rockefeller Cottage, Historic residence in Jekyll Island, Georgia, US.
The Rockefeller Cottage spans three stories and contains 25 rooms, including nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and seven dedicated servant quarters.
William Rockefeller acquired the property in 1905 following Gordon McKay's death in 1903, transforming it into a winter residence until 1947.
The property earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, reflecting the architectural preferences of affluent American families.
Tours of the cottage, operated by the Jekyll Island Museum, allow visitors to examine the original features, including a cedar-lined safe and saltwater faucets.
The residence received its name 'Indian Mound Cottage' from a shell midden in the front yard, initially mistaken for an indigenous burial site.
