Brookside Museum, Greek Revival house in Ballston Spa, New York, US
The wooden Brookside Museum spans two and a half stories with five by nine bays, featuring dormer windows and cedar shingle roofing.
Built in 1792 as an inn for spring water visitors, the building served as a boys' school, residence, boarding house, and sanatorium before becoming a museum in 1970.
The museum preserves Saratoga County history through exhibits, educational programs, and collections that document the region's development over two centuries.
Located on a triangular 1.5-acre lot where Front Street divides into Charlton and Fairground avenues, with a creek flowing through the wooded western section.
Author James Fenimore Cooper wrote sections of The Last of the Mohicans while staying at this former inn near the medicinal springs.
