History

The cottage was built circa 1837, shortly after Samuel and Robert Patterson acquired the land. [3] In 1847, it was acquired by John Coulson, a merchant. [3] When Coulson purchased the Cliffs Plantation from John W. Henderson in 1868, Henderson in turn purchased Belvidere. [3]

The house was moved northwards in 1927, when the Margaret Martin Junior High School was built where it once stood. [3]

By 1980, it still belonged to the Henderson family. [3]

Architectural significance

The cottage was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. [2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 8, 1980. [2]
