The Silver Bay Association Complex is an inn and related buildings located in the hamlet of Silver Bay, New York, United States.[1] It began as a farmhouse, and in the 1890s it was expanded and became a lodge capable of supporting 80-100 people.[2] In 1897, Silas Paine, a Standard Oil executive, vacationed at the resort and decided to buy a portion of land adjacent to the property. 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).[2] The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 1980.[1] Architecturally, it is described as being in the Queen Ann style.[2]
