The log home fireplaces featured here are built with skill and craftsmanship
not seen since the era of the
Adirondack Great Camps
(1870-1930) . . . . .
Present day interpretations of the Adirondack Style are being artfully crafted in log and
stone by a new generation of designers and builders. Like their pre- decessors, they are
skillfully blending the rustic with the refined to create luxury while simultane- ously maintaining
a patina of rusticity.
True to the spirit of the
Adirondack Style,
a massive stone fireplace anchors and dominates the vast open space of the great room. Both the
focal point and, rightly so, the most important furnishing in the room, it beckons all to gather
around it!
Frequently crafted from native
stone
collected near the site -- typically river rock, granite, fieldstone, limestone,
and slate -- the stones are assembled to look as natural as possible. Generally,
the large stones fit tightly together with little, if any, visible mortar. The
individual stones are not placed in any particular pattern but, rather, are randomly
positioned for a more natural ap- pearance.
No longer confined to the mountainous region of upstate New York from which
it takes its name, the Adirondack Style has migrated westward, leaving its
imprint on the landscape all the way to California. It links the present with
the past and provides an opportunity for innovative designers and builders to
take simple and natural materials to new heights!
What this gives you, the homeowner, is a superb, hand crafted hearth of the
highest quality available today. One tailored to your lifestyle, location,
bud- get, and personal style!
