Between 1898, Silas had a large resort addition linked to the original house, and between 1900-1901 he added several cottages to the complex. The structure was bought by the YMCA
in 1904, and assumed its final form, well-preserved form during expansions between 1925-1926 under the supervision of architect William E. Clark (1882–1935). The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
on March 20, 1980. Architecturally, it is described as being in the Queen Ann style.
