 The
Adirondack Mountain Region is credited with giving birth to the rustic furniture
tradition in 19th-century America.
Originally the Adirondack chair was designed for the Adirondack mountain resorts
in upstate New York over 100 years ago.
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.
The Adirondack Chair is one of the most popular outdoor chairs in the United States.
The chair incorporates design ideas used for many decades; wide arms, contoured
seat and a scalloped back. Adirondack chairs are comfortable because the chair
back inclines 30 degrees and is curved to conform to your back giving excellent
lower back support. Its deep, angled seat and broad arm rests, make the perfect
place for a plate of food & drink or garden gloves.

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.
