Dining Hall at Great Camp Sagamore, Adirondacks
The dining hall at Great Camp Sagamore in New York's Adirondack Mountains, a log-and-timber room with large windows looking out over the lake.
Design characteristics
Great Camp Sagamore was built in the late 1890s by William West Durant and later owned by the Vanderbilt family. Its buildings are classic Adirondack rustic architecture, with log and timber construction, dark wood interiors and large windows framing the lake. The dining hall's dark wood walls and tall divided windows create a dramatic, cozy space. The Adirondack great camps are an important source for mountain design across the United States.
