Walter Rogers Furness Cottage, Historic house in Jekyll Island, Georgia, United States.
The Walter Rogers Furness Cottage features twelve rooms across two and a half stories, with a J-shaped covered porch and a Juliet balcony at 31.056667 latitude.
Built between 1889 and 1891, the cottage initially served as a residence for publisher Joseph Pulitzer before becoming the Josephine Goodyear Memorial Infirmary in 1930.
The cottage stands among thirty-three properties in the Jekyll Island Club Historic District, representing the architectural preferences of American industrial elites during the 1890s.
Following renovations in 2017, the structure now displays a pale blue exterior and houses the Jekyll Island Museum visitor center and gift shop.
The building underwent a transformation from a private residence to a medical facility, operating as an infirmary until the Jekyll Island Club closed in 1942.
