| has gloss | eng: The Carnegie Camp North Point is on the northern shore of Raquette Lake in the Adirondack Park in New York. It is one of the original Great Camps of the Adirondacks located on Raquette Lake the home to many summer camps of the wealthy built during the Gilded Age. North Point was designed by Spokane, Washington architect, Kirtland Cutter, for Lucy C. Carnegie, Andrew Carnegies sister-in-law and matriarch of the Carnegie family. It is speculated that Cutter was selected to design the building after Lucy saw the Idaho Building designed by Cutter at the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair. The Assembly Hall building (left) and Dining Hall (right) with guest rooms above were the primary residences of the camp. Other original buildings included guides cabins, a boat house, ice house and water tower. The buildings were completed in 1903 and used by the Carnegie family until Lucys death. |
