Summer Newsletter 2012 ADIRONDACK ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE NEWSLETTER VOLUME 20 NUMBER 2 SUMMER 2012 AARCH ANNUAL MEETING: AUSABLE CLUB Thursday, June 21 Join us at the Ausable Club in St. Huberts on Thursday, June 21, for our 22nd annual meeting. In addition to conducting AARCH business we will recognize10-year members. Our guest speaker will be Jim Herman, who is a retired management consultant who lives in Keene, NY. His specialty was strategic planning in high-tech companies. He and his partner Dave Mason are responsible for the current series of workshops on The Future of the Adirondack Park. The Adirondack Mountain Reserve was established in 1887 as a stockholder preserve. The AMR did not have its own lodge until it purchased St. Huberts Inn in 1906 to serve as the main hotel for the club. The building remains, decades later, the focal point of the property, centered among individually built cottages, and amenities that include a 9-hole golf course. This is a rare opportunity to visit this spectacular site. The meeting begins at 1 p.m. and ends around 3 p.m. and is free to AARCH members and guests. As with all of our events, unless otherwise noted, reservations are required by contacting AARCH. Shelburne Farms, created in 1886 by William Seward and Lila Vanderbilt Webb, is one of the sites we’ll be visiting on our fascinating Beyond the Blue Line: The Webbs of Shelburne tour. See page 11 for more information. (Photo courtesy of Shelburne Farms) Welcome to another season of exciting and unique events. Though we add several new outings each year, there are many wonderful sites that we have been fortunate enough to have had access to for many years. These include, among others, Tahawus, Big Moose and Valcour Island. Unfortunately, properties change hands or, as with the Land of Makebelieve, Mother Nature intervenes, making our connections somewhat tenuous or severing them altogether. A place’s availability could change very quickly, so don't miss out on these opportunities while they last. Photo courtesy of The Ausable Club website We look forward to seeing you this summer. Unless otherwise identified all photos are from AARCH. AARCH office hours are 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Monday - Friday Phone: (518) 834-9328 Fax: (518) 834-9225 Address: 1745 Main St., Keeseville, NY 12944 Email: [email protected] TOUR RESERVATIONS REGISTRATION POLICY The tour registration policy will be the same lottery process that was introduced last year. We will be taking reservation requests by telephone, mail, email, fax, and in person from the time that the events schedule is distributed to our members in April, until Monday, May 14, 2012 at noon. At that time, the early AARCH member reservation window will close. All requests will then be placed into a hopper and randomly drawn. Requests will be honored in the order they are chosen. People will be notified within several days of the drawing as to which events they have reservations for. Reservations received after May 14 at noon, from members and non-members will be honored in the order they are received. AARCH tours, workshops, and special events are led by scholars, professionals, and knowledgeable volunteers. They are enjoyable learning experiences and help raise funds to support our preservation mission. In planning your outing with us, please keep in mind the following: • Advance registration is required for all events unless otherwise noted. Attendance is limited and events are filled by the process described above. Making requests while the early AARCH member reservation window is open is highly recommended. If a tour fills up, we recommend placing your name on our waiting list, as periodically we get cancellations. Once we receive notice of a cancellation, we notify those on the waiting list in the order that their reservations have been received. • Prompt payment following confirmation of your reservations is appreciated. Mail your check to AARCH, 1745 Main Street, Keeseville, NY 12944. Refunds will be given to those unable to attend an event only if we are notified at least two business days prior to the event date. • We cannot accept more than four reservations per membership per tour. • To avoid duplications please include the names of the other people in your party, when possible. • Out of respect for property owners who are generous enough to allow us to tour their properties, please leave all pets at home. • Many tours require a fair amount of walking or exertion. Be sure you are physically able to participate in the outing as described. • Unless otherwise noted, you are required to bring your own lunch and beverage. • Our events are held rain or shine. Dress for the variable weather conditions by wearing or bringing proper attire. NEW EXHIBIT AT THE AARCH GALLERY ADIRONDACK STYLE - A PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION Opening Reception: Friday, June 29, 5-7 p.m. AARCH’s Clayton Family Resource Center and Gallery, 1745 Main Street, Keeseville Adirondack Style: Great Camps and Rustic Lodges was published in 2011 by Rizzoli. With photography by f-stop Fitzgerald and Richard McCaffrey and text by Lynn Woods and Jane Mackintosh, it explores the architecture, design, and natural beauty of the region’s rustic camps. These made brilliant use of the rustic materials readily available in the area—rough-hewn logs, stone, tree roots, twigs, and bark—to create beautiful exteriors and sometimes lavish and elegant interior spaces. They were often designed by prominent architects, were executed by talented local builders, and many had boathouses, teahouses, game rooms, and bowling alleys. This exhibit features thirty stunning photographs from the book. 2 Rare Opportunity SPECIAL EVENTS Photos courtesy of f-stop Fitzgerald, BENEFIT EVENT AT CAMP WINNETASKA Adirondack Style UPPER ST. REGIS LAKE Saturday, August 4 Camp Winnetaska was built for Mr. and Mrs. Augustus W. Durkee of New York City beginning in 1897. At that time the camp was only accessible by water, with the first automobile arriving in 1917. The camp features several intact original buildings set on the shores of Upper St. Regis Lake, which has long been known for its Idem boat races. Guests of the benefit will be lucky enough to see one of these historic races. The day will include refreshments, hors d’ oeuvres, and a silent auction. The event begins at 1 p.m. and ends at 4 p.m. The fee is $100 per person. GOLF TOURNAMENT TO BENEFIT AARCH SARANAC INN GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB Country Club website Monday, August 27 Photo and quotation courtesy of Saranac Inn Golf and Join us for our fourth annual golf tournament. This year’s event will be held at Saranac Inn Golf and Country Club., which was once part of the famous Saranac Inn Resort. The course was founded at the turn of the last century and designed by renowned Scottish born pro Seymour Dunn. The day will feature a buffet lunch followed by a round of golf with cart; and the opportunity to win great prizes. The format is a four-man scramble with shot gun start. The fee is $100 per player. “From the bent grass tees to the tight lush fairways to the deep bunkered undulating greens, the Saranac Inn has a reputation as one of the most carefully maintained and challenging resort courses in the northeast.” Photo courtesy of Top of the World website 3 2012 AARCH AWARDS LUNCHEON TOP OF THE WORLD GOLF RESORT, LAKE GEORGE Monday, September 24 This year we are pleased to present our annual AARCH Preservation Awards at Top of the World Golf Resort. This is our opportunity to recognize the hard- working and committed homeowners and organizations who recognize the value of our historic structures and diligently protect them. Sited at the top of French Mountain, Top of the World Resort offers some of the most spectacular views in the region. Established by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tuttle in 1926 as a sophisticated retreat, it boasted a nine-hole golf course, tennis courts, and riding stables. The beauty and elegance of the original resort have been restored and in 2006 nine new holes were added to the course. Our luncheon will be held at the Farmhouse Restaurant, where chef Kevin London incorporates the bounty of the resort’s organic farm into inspired cuisine. The luncheon starts at noon and ends around 3 p.m. The fee is $40 per person. TOURS VALCOUR ISLAND Thursday, June 14 Valcour Island lighthouse Adirondack The waters surrounding Valcour Island in Lake Champlain were Great Camp the scene of the Battle of Valcour, an important naval battle during the Revolutionary War. Here in October 1776, a small colonial fleet under the command of Benedict Arnold engaged the British fleet. During the 19th century, the island was briefly home to a fledgling “free-love” colony and, in 1874, a lighthouse was built on it. The island is now part of the Forest Preserve and the PRESERVING CAMP lighthouse is being restored by the Clinton County Historical Association. We will travel by boat to the island for a four-mile SANTANONI interpretive hike with AARCH’s Steven Engelhart and naturalist Thursday, June 28 David Thomas-Train.

  • RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS by Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee
    Field Notes - Spring 2016 Issue RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS By Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee We have been reviewing new books about the Olmsteds and the art of landscape architecture for so long that the book section of our website is beginning to resemble a bibliography. To make this resource more useful for researchers and interested readers, we’re beginning a series of articles about older publications that remain useful and enjoyable. We hope to focus on the landmarks of the Olmsted literature that appeared before the creation of our website as well as shorter writings that were not intended to be scholarly works or best sellers but that add to our understanding of Olmsted projects and themes. THE OLMSTEDS AND THE VANDERBILTS The Vanderbilts and the Gilded Age: Architectural Aspirations 1879-1901. by John Foreman and Robbe Pierce Stimson, Introduction by Louis Auchincloss. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1991, 341 pages. At his death, William Henry Vanderbilt (1821-1885) was the richest man in America. In the last eight years of his life, he had more than doubled the fortune he had inherited from his father, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877), who had created an empire from shipping and then done the same thing with the New York Central Railroad. William Henry left the bulk of his estate to his two eldest sons, but each of his two other sons and four daughters received five million dollars in cash and another five million in trust. This money supported a Vanderbilt building boom that remains unrivaled, including palaces along Fifth Avenue in New York, aristocratic complexes in the surrounding countryside, and palatial “cottages” at the fashionable country resorts.

Scarpino, Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the same way that the philanthropists discussed in my paper depended upon a community of experienced agents to help them create their museums, I would not have been able to produce this work without the assistance of many individuals and institutions. First, I would like to express my thanks to my thesis committee: Dr. Elizabeth Monroe (chair), Dr. Dwight Burlingame, and Dr. Philip Scarpino. After writing and editing for months, I no longer have the necessary words to describe my appreciation for their support and flexibility, which has been vital to the success of this project. To Historic Deerfield, Inc. of Deerfield, Massachusetts, and its Summer Fellowship Program in Early American History and Material Culture, under the direction of Joshua Lane. My Summer Fellowship during 2007 encapsulated many of my early encounters with the institutional histories and sources necessary to produce this thesis. I am grateful to the staff of Historic Deerfield and the thirty other museums included during the fellowship trips for their willingness to discuss their institutional histories and philanthropic challenges.

  • Carlquist Lloyd Hyde Thesis 2010.Pdf
    1 Introduction As the Colonial Revival reached its zenith in the 1920s, collecting American antiques evolved from nineteenth-century relic hunting into an emerging field with its own scholarship, trade practices, and social circles. The term “Americana” came to refer to fine and decorative arts created or consumed in early America. A new type of Americana connoisseurs collected such objects to furnish idealized versions of America’s past in museums and private homes. One such Americana connoisseur was Maxim Karolik, a Russian-born tenor who donated to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston one of the most celebrated collections of American paintings, prints, and decorative arts. A report about the collection’s 1941 museum opening described how “connoisseurs looked approvingly” at the silver, “clucked with admiration” over the Gilbert Stuart portraits, and turned “green-eyed at the six-shell Newport desk-and-bookcase.”1 Karolik began collecting antiques in the 1920s, adding to those that had been inherited by Martha Codman Karolik, his “Boston Brahmin” wife. His appetite for Americana grew until he became one of the 1930s’ principal patrons, considered second only to Henry Francis du Pont. He scoured auction houses, galleries, showrooms, and small shops. Karolik loved the chase and consorting with dealers. He enjoyed haggling over prices despite his wife’s substantial fortune.2 1 “Art: Boston’s Golden Maxim,” Time (December 22, 1941). 2 Frieda Schmutzler (of Katrina Kipper’s Queen Anne Cottage), Oral History, May 26, 1978, Winterthur Archives.
