difficult to find his paintings today and to understand the scope of his work. Colt's house and outbuildings in New Hope are now part of the Phillips Mill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. In 2020, the Phillips Mill Foundation for the Arts announced a campaign had raised $425,000 to restore Colt's former residence and buildings. Personal life In 1902, Colt married Jane Boudinot Keith, a preacher's daughter from Onteora, New York, and descendant of Elias Boudinot, a French Huguenot who was president of the Continental Congress. They did not have any children. They initially lived in Flushing, Queens, New York and frequently visited Shinnecock, Long Island. Around 1912, they moved to New Hope, Pennsylvania, so Colt could dedicate his time to art. He built a houseboat, the Deewaydin, planning to live on it on the Delaware Canal. That turned out not to be practical. They moved into a rental house and later purchased, a barn that had housed pigs on the Phillips Mill farm of his friend, William Langson Lathrop, and converted it into a home and studio. In 1912, he organized the Coryell's Ferry Chautauqua near New Hope; the weeklong event recurred annually for ten years. He was a member of the Boston Art Club, the New York Society of Craftsmen, the New York Yacht Club, the Philadelphia Art Alliance, and the Salmagundi Club. He also raised German Shepherd show dogs. In 1926, Colt died of apoplexy at the Art Colony at New Hope, Pennsylvania at the age of 49 years. He was buried in Paterson, New Jersey.
