Shrady-James Cottage "Cherokee Cottage"

This cottage has a total of 20 rooms and 6 baths. The building was renovated and is now a hotel with 10 guest rooms and baths. It was erected circa 1915 for Mrs. Hester E. Cantine Shrady of New York, widow of Dr. George Frederick Shrady of New York (born 1837 - died 1907). 

Dr. Shrady was a physician, editor of the Medical Record, and Assistant Surgeon during the U.S. Civil War. He attended ex-President Grant, as consulting surgeon, in his last illness. 

Mrs. Cantine Shrady was the mother-in-law of Edwin Gould, a Jekyll Island Club member. Mr. Gould, who owned the Cottage 'Solterra' on Jekyll, was the son of the famous financier Jay Gould, who left an estate of over $60,000,000.
