  • Camp Santanoni, NY
    Camp Santanoni, New York August 16 - 28, 2015 Project Partner: Adirondack Architectural Heritage History: In the late 1800s, Robert and Anna Pruyn bought property along Newcombe Lake in the Adirondacks and developed it into a family estate that served as a refuge in nature from their urban life in Albany. With the growing American middle class in the 1800s, these family retreats grew in popularity. Families, like the Pruyn family, no longer looked at the American Wilderness as something to be tamed and conquered but something to be preserved and appreciated. The Pruyns had a love for the outdoors and bought this property on Newcombe Lake due to its isolation. Anna’s love of nature came from her childhood growing up in the Adirondacks. Robert spent many years in Japan as a youth, and as a result, he came to appreciate the Japanese reverence for wildlife and the integration of nature into culture. This Japanese inuence can be seen in the overall plan which places the buildings in a way that blends them with the contours of the natural landscape. The property was segmented into four areas: the Great Camp, gate lodge complex, service complex and a model farm. The family would often invite guests to enjoy the property, and even had Theodore Roosevelt stay with them. Decades after Robert and Anna’s death, the Pruyn children sold Santanoni to the Melvin family. Crandall and Myron Melvin continued to use the property as a family retreat, but did not hire a staff, like the Pruyns, to maintain the property. The Melvins spent less of their time engaged in leisure activities, and more time was spent on the preservation and maintenance of the property buildings.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating' adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Although at least half of the fire towers operated beyond 1972 payroll records for that period do not seem to exist and the likelihood that any of these records might be found are remote. For that reason this is an incomplete accounting of all the Observers, but it is the most comprehensive source available. Dates are provided for the Observers who staffed the fire towers in the Adirondack and Catskill regions beyond 1972 which were obtained from the books by Martin Podskoch; The Catskill Fire Towers; Their History and Lore and The Adirondack Fire Towers; Their History and Lore - Northern and Southern Districts.
