Title	Building-structure inventory form: Frederic O. Spedden house
Creator	New York (State). Division for Historic Preservation
Date.Original	1977-04-13
Contributors	Clark, Donald. F. (Orange County Historian)
Description	Inventory form for building located on Wee Wah Rd. recording the following information: Hiram S. Gans (owner at time of inventory). Late Victorian; 2 1/2 story rectangular w/ wing; gable and hip roof; stucco; brackets; rafter ends exposed; 2 bay windows; 6/1; 6/6; 3 paired window dormers; screened porches; eyebrow dormer; sundial; 5 interior chimneys. Interior: oak paneled rooms; sunken music room contains enormous pipe organ; vertical laundry dryers. Built in 1910 by Foster, Gade and Graham. This rambling late Victorian house was built two years before its owner Frederic O. Spedden survived the tragic Titanic disaster of 1912. Spedden, an excellent yachtsman, was credited with saving the lives of his wife, his son and two employees. Several steamer trunk keys marked 'Titanic' were found by the present owners. Mr. Spedden's son was killed in an automobile accident three years after his rescue from the Titanic. Because of his interest in music, the Speddens added a music room as a memorial to other son. The room contains an enormous pipe organ.
