Little Red Shop Cupola

This picture was taken in the 1890s by William Barney. Take a close look at the bottom of the

picture, a little to the right of center. Doesn't that look like the cupola on the Little Red Shop? It's not

on the Shop here, though. From several other views, it appears to be on a tower on the roof of a

building connected to the Little Red Shop. At the lower left of this photo you can see a little of the roof

of the enclosed walkway (or "runway" as it's called in an article in Cotton Chats) that can be seen in

several other pictures connecting the Red Shop to a three story brick building. The tower with the

cupola is on that building. Also visible in this picture are boat houses, the Henry Patrick icehouse on

the east side of the pond and another icehouse on the west side. I would have probably assumed

that the building on the west bank was a barn, but old maps identify it as an icehouse.
