Frederic Church executed some of his most famous works at Olana, in a studio that stood on the hill above the Cosy Cottage. Olana was one of several grand artist's homes in the Hudson River valley, comparable to Albert Bierstadt's Malkasten in Irvington (destroyed by fire in 1882) and Jasper Francis Cropsey's Ever Rest, in Hastings-on-Hudson.
