Most were constructed during the 1920s and 1930s (although some are dated much earlier and others were rebuilt as late as the 1980s), under deeds provided as political favors. In 1979 a state court ruled that the cottages were illegal, as the underlying property was public parkland. All but four of the cottages were removed in 2004. The remaining ones are being adapted for public purposes.
