The Builders
At the turn of the twentieth century, much of the St. Regis Lakes area was owned by Paul Smith lumber baron, inn keeper, and raconteur. Many of Smith’s prominent hotel guests subsequently purchased lakefront property from Smith to build their own summer homes, or camps, as they came to be known. One such buyer was Archibald S. White, a prominent New York banker, and his socialite wife, Olive. The Whites purchased 35 acres covered with white and red pine trees overlooking what then was called Lake Osgood.
In 1907 White commissioned New York architect William Massarene to design his Adirondack camp, just a short boat ride from Paul Smith’s Hotel. Ben Muncil, the region’s unschooled master camp builder, was the contractor. White also hired interior designer and architect Addison Mizner to work on furnishings and decor and design several additions and alterations. White Pine Camp was one of Mizner’s first commissions. He went on to become one of America’s leading architects and the visionary behind the development of Boca Raton, Florida.

Why they chose this property
The Camp
The camp that Massarene, Muncil and Mizner designed and built would be architecturally unique among the Great Camps of the Adirondacks. Its 20 original buildings included an owner’s cabin, dining hall, four or five sleeping cabins, two boat houses, a tennis house, bowling alley a Japanese tea house that would become one of the Adirondacks’ most iconic images. But unlike the heavy log style first developed by William West Durant or the ornate artistry associated with later Adirondack styles, White Pine Camp’s builders effected a more subtle rustic expression. Their “pre-modern” composition featured soaring roof lines, asymmetrical -shaped buildings, and the extensive use of dramatic, natural lighting. If windows are indeed the eyes of a home, White Pine Camp’s unusually shaped windows--in corners and clearstories--open every room to a kaleidoscopic array of natural light textures.
Another one of the builders’ innovations was the rough-milled siding developed by Muncil and Paul Smith’s millwright, Charles Nichols. It was a compromise between more traditional clapboard siding and the rustic slab siding typical of other Adirondack camps. Muncil and Nichols’ “brainstorm siding”, as they humorously referred to their innovation, soon became a common element of Adirondack architecture. Also known as “Adirondack siding”, it soon spread throughout the region and beyond.
In addition to its innovative architectural style, White Pine Camp’s designers surrounded their buildings with the most extensive landscape architecture of any Adirondack rustic estate to date. Its masonry walls, paths, bridges, flower plantings and lush rhododendron gardens create a medley of natural elements that embrace the camp’s grounds.

What makes this property unique
As a guest, you have your choice of 13 distinctive cabins and cottages with soaring roof lines, hand-built Adirondack-style furniture, stone fireplaces or wood stoves, and breathtaking views. Two cottages are pet-friendly, and most have private porches or patios.
Also, as a guest, you have total and unlimited access to all our facilities and activities.
Want to go fishing or boating? Just walk down to one of our two boathouses and grab a canoe, rowboat or kayak.
Want to hike? Head out on a trail right outside your door.
Want to swim? Enjoy an invigorating dip in the crystal-clear waters of Osgood Pond.
Like to bowl? You can do so in the vintage bowling alley used by the President himself... as long as you set your own pins.
And don't forget to bring a good book. White Pine Camp literally has dozens of indoor and outdoor hideaways to while away a lazy afternoon - be it by a roaring fire in the 'Great Room,' on a rustic bench in our Alpine garden, or in our iconic Japanese tea house on a tiny island accessed by a 300-foot wooden bridge.
Should you tear yourself away from camp, you'll find an entire smorgasbord of natural adventures. We are surrounded by the St. Regis Canoe Wilderness, with some of the most extensive paddling routes in the country. And, 'down the street' - our version of two miles - is Paul Smith's College, where you are welcome to enjoy the fitness center, café and Visitor Interpretive Center, the ultimate source on snowshoe, cross-country skiing, bird watching and back-country hiking.
