Details

Image Number006-443DateSummer 1976DescriptionVictorian cottage with "Berry Cottage" sign posted next to the front door featuring steep gables with board-and-batten and shingle siding located on Glenmere Road across from Estemere in Palmer Lake. Built in 1888 to house the carpenter for the Estemere estate, it eventually became the home of Clarissa A. Janet "Nettie" Berry, sister of Dr. William Finley Thompson, the owner of the Estemere mansion. With little means of support, she moved to Palmer Lake in 1883 to live with her brother until his fortunes failed at which time she moved into the cottage. Nettie lived in Palmer Lake for 45 years and was elected Town Treasurer, the first woman to hold public office Palmer Lake. She died in 1930 in Colorado Springs at the age of 85.
