Synopsis:

At the turn of the century the wealthiest Americans, including the Vanderbilts, Whitneys, Rockefellers and Lehmans, flocked to New York State's wild Adirondack region to create the expansive summer retreats known as the great camps - built and furnished almost exclusively with materials found in nature. ADIRONDACK STYLE is a beautiful appreciation of the region and the builders who created dwellings out of the substance and character of the place. From the fancy logwork and stonework of the exteriors to the great halls, kitchens and dining areas of the interiors and the fine details of furniture, wrought iron and fabrics, the essence of the Adirondack style is captured and explored. ADIRONDACK STYLE is the only book to combine the lavish photographs of a style book with a thorough overview of the Adirondack region's rich history.
