The above
photo was taken by Seneca Ray Stoddard. It was titled "Petries, Third Lake
Adirondack Chain" about 35 years earlier than the 1916 date that
William Thistlethwaite writes in his notes:
"Mountain View Cottages - "Dress for Dinner?" I
should say not" says C. D. Petrie, proprietor
on south side of Fourth Lake near Aquapine. Guest’s enjoy the comforts of
the woods, good food and comfortable beds. Consisting of six cottages, two
semi-enclosed cottages and three tents the camp runs on the home plan. New
this year, there’s hot & cold running water, inside toilets and baths.
Twice a week, there’s dancing in the pavilion with an orchestra that’s
well known around the Chain. Each Wednesday
motorboat excursions can be had to Eighth Lake, a time honored custom.
There is accommodations for 100 guests" |
