Oak Lodge, built in 1912 on the site of a former sporting clubhouse, was the last of the seven to be built, and is the only one designed as a duplex. Built at the same that an annex was built onto the main hotel, it has a distinct Craftsman flavor to its design, with ribbon windows and exposed rafter tails.
This building was formerly the original North Chatham Fire House. It is a single-story, gable-front building with outward-swinging glazed and paneled doors, exposed rafter tails at the eaves, and novelty siding. It was later modified to function as an automobile service shop and later a garage. [2]
The rafter tails are exposed and curved, another Gothic touch. [1] The outhouse also used board-and-batten siding with Gothic detail on the trim. Unusually, it has two holes for adults with one for a child.
After 100 years, many Craftsman-style exposed rafter tails are now hidden by rain gutter and soffit, and porches have been enclosed, but the tapered square columns are still visible. Nearly all the homes constructed by Karrels were structurally bungalows.
The hallmark of this style is the exposed rafter tails. The stucco exterior is also common to the style. Otherwise, this is an unusual Craftsman - rather large at 2.5 stories, with an odd porch, corner pilasters, and a dormer window in the style of George Maher. [2] [6] Pfister house, Bungalow, 1910

It has a gabled roof, exposed rafter tails, weatherboard siding, and composition singles. Located between the farmhouse and the barn, it measures 24 feet (7 m) by 16 feet (5 m) and has a 10-foot (3 m) wide double-car garage door on the south side. [ 5 ]
The main house is a dramatic and architecturally eclectic two-story building with a variety of Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and Mission style details. It is a stucco-finished concrete construction, whose roof has exposed rafter tails, and was originally finished in tile, replaced after a 1973 tornado extensively damaged the property.
