COOLIDGE SUMMER HOME MAY LOOK ROUGH IN APPEARANCE
White Pine Camp, New York (JFK+50) On May 13, 1926, The Evening Star reports the Coolidges' Summer Home in the Adirondack Mountains* here in New York State may look rough in appearance, but will provide the First Family "every possible luxury and comfort."
White Pine Camp, located on the bank of Lake Osgood, included 40 acres of land, mostly wooded. The property, says The Star, has "picturesque" log cabins rather than a single building common with previous presidential summer homes.
*Adirondack Mountains are located in northeastern New York State & form a circular dome 160 miles wide covering 5000 sq. mi. It includes Mount Marcy, the highest point in the state.
