The Carnegie estate on North Point is on the site of one of the early camps that existed when Durant started Pine Knot. James Ten Eyck of Albany selected sites with views of the lake to the south and the mountains beyond. Mrs. Lucy Carnegie, widow of Andrew Carnegie's brother Thomas, bought it in 1902 and refashioned it into a complex of buildings in the Swiss chalet style, evident in the shallow, pitched roofs with broad overhangs at the gable ends and the eaves; in the ribbons of windows; and in the balconies' fret-work railings. The main lodge is an H -plan: one wing containing a two-story living room and family quarters; a connecting wing; and a second wing for dining room and kitchen. |
