The following year he installed a mail-order cabin from the E. F. Hodgson Company of Massachusetts, which specialized in prefabricated buildings. Ingersoll usually spent four months of the year on his island and continued to develop the property until he sold it in 1962 at the age of 77.

It was nominated as an example of the area's upper-class summer homes and as a rare intact example of a E. F. Hodgson Company kit house.
