A little History about popular Adirondack Furniture Designs
Prior to the 1830’s,
little was even known about the Adirondack Mountain Area
in Upstate New York. After the Civil War, Ebenezer
Emmons was asked to survey these woods and the
Adirondacks were exposed as a recreational spot where an
individual could go and experience the wilderness.
People began to move into this area and this eventually
brought in tourists enjoying the outdoors. With the
increase in tourism came extravagant hotels and
guesthouses that only the rich could afford.
These Great Camps became popular with the wealthy and many tourists eventually bought land to build their own camps in this style. The Adirondack Style spread from the Adirondacks in New York to the Colorado Rocky Mountains. This Adirondack Style included the standard “Adirondack Chair” and soon encompassed furniture built from natural tree limbs for every room inside the camp. Franklin Roosevelt was so taken by this style that he pushed the idea that buildings in the national parks system should emulate this style as seen in The Inn at Yellowstone National Park. The Adirondack Style was designed to withstand the elements, provide comfort to the inhabitants, and to harmonize with nature. It’s no wonder that its popularity still exists today even though the use of this style has declined since the 1930’s.
