Historic Saranac Lake
Trudeau Sanatorium, Saranac Lake, NY
Trudeau
began in 1884 with 16 acres on one of his favorite hunting spots.
Little Red was the first of what eventually became 50 buildings.
He built cottages because it was easier to raise money for small
units rather than one large structure. Once tuberculosis was found
to be caused by a microorganism, though, the benefits of having
people well-separated turned out to be significant. The American
Management Association bought the property after the sanitarium
closed in 1954. Twenty-five buildings remain. Six of 30 patient
cottages survive; although, they now have their porches enclosed.
Each had a central living room, a bathroom and four bedrooms. Each
bedroom door had a transom; circulation of fresh air was always
a concern.
A brief history of the Adirondacks from the first sighting by a
European in 1535, through the eras of trapping, iron mining, and
lumbering, to the development of railroad and steamboat lines that
led to the influx of tourists and building of the "Great Camps".
The sixty years from 1870 to 1930 were the heyday of these camps,
the "Guilded Age" of the Adirondacks. Kaiser gives a fascinating
account both of the personalities who engineered and financed these
fabulous structures and of the bulidings themselves.
"Great
Camps of the Adirondacks" by Harvey Kaiser
Camp
Arden is the home of Arden Creek Designs. Located in a peacful setting,
deep in the Adirondack Mountains. Camp Arden has been in existence
since 1880. It is believed that the name Arden is derived from "The
Forest of Arden" located in England and the setting for Shakespear's
play "As You Like It". Camp Arden is one of the few remaining camps
of its kind. A timeless, unique record, typical of the Adirondacks
where the family camp spread into a small village of cabins, each
unit with a separate function.
Over the years, Camp Arden has been a part of the local history
representative of the bright era in the north-central Adirondacks;
the days of Paul Smith and Dr. E. L. Trudeau.
Using the same resourcefulness, energy and high spirits that brought
the early inhabitants to the Adirondacks, Arden Creek Designs aims
to achieve that enviable condition where traditions of both the
past and present are brougnt together not to jar but to enrich oneanother.
Arden Creek Designs has gathered a select group of artisans from
the Adirondack Mountains to represent. Their products are of the
highest quality and unique in their design and craftmenship. We
at Arden Creek Designs are pleased to be able to offer these products
to you.
