A peek at history

We found the blueprints for my Dad's family camp recently.  Growing up, we would travel to Chateaugay Lake and camp, but the great camp was long since gone.  I remember seeing the foundation but that was all that was left of this magnificent camp.

There is something magical about the lake.  I still am drawn to it all these years later, and time moves a little slower at camp- something we could all use a little more of these days.

I grew up seeing pictures of the camp.  The management at Republic Steel used the camp to entertain out-of-town executives.  There were massive parties in the dining room that could seat 30-40 people and had this incredible floor to ceiling stone fireplace.

My Dad said today that the library in the camp was larger than his first home.

It's funny, how similar log cabins are today.  These prints could be from now versus the 1930s.   And I just wonder how much it would cost to rebuild today!
