 The
Adirondack style has become the mainstay of garden furniture. Garden benches and
tandom chairs grace the lawns of some of the finest estates around the world.
The Adirondack Mountain Region
is credited with giving birth to the rustic furniture tradition in 19th-century
America. The Adirondack chair appears to be based on the Westport chair designed
around 1900 by Thomas Lee, who had a summer cottage in Westport, New York, on
Lake Champlain. One winter Lee lent his chair design to a hunting partner, Harry
Bunnell who was an out of work carpenter. Bunnell began making what was then called
'Westport Chairs' with backs, seats, and armrests made of wide planks. He patented
his version in 1905. This was the beginning of the sloped back - wide armrest
Adirondack Chair.

Adirondack
Great Camps
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.
