The Gartners’ home was originally designed in 1892 by Harry Wild Jones for William Peet who chose not to build the cottage. Shortly after, fellow Minnetonka Yacht Club member William Rolph of Minneapolis had it built. According to a 1949 Minneapolis Tribune article (written about the family when it lived in the cottage), Rolph’s sons, “… docked their scows across the bay at the cupola-peaked yacht club, which was also designed by Jones.” Notably, the home was close to the Hotel St. Louis, which was dismantled in 1907, according to Elizabeth Vandam, author of a Jones biography.
