The Story of ''Little Camp'': A historic property on Upper St. Regis Lake. The land on which Little Camp rests was once owned by Paul Smith. In 1903, 16.8 acres were purchased by U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge William K. Townsend and his wife Mary. Interestingly, Judge Townsend was appointed by Theodore Roosevelt, who frequented the Adirondacks. The Townsend's constructed a large great camp and named the camp ''The Rocks''. John Jacob Astor once summered at The Rocks. Years later, Astor was aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic. With the passing of Judge Townsend in 1907, the Townsend's son George H. Townsend constructed Little Camp in 1925, for his mother Mary. During construction, Townsend commissioned renowned artist Charles R. Knight to paint the murals that still adorn the walls of the Great Room. Knight, a wildlife artist, is best known for his murals of prehistoric animals. His work is still on display at several museums throughout the country. Little Camp is actually more sprawling than the name suggests. The buildings are nicely situated on 1.75 acres with 234 feet of waterfront. The centerpiece of the Main House Great Room is the stone fireplace and the chimney is shared with the fireplace that highlights the enclosed porch. There is an impressive dining room, a butler's pantry, and a gourmet kitchen. There are 7 bedrooms and 4.5 baths in the Main House. The Tree House has a fun bunkroom on the upper level and a screened lower level for summer gatherings. The Game Room over the garage is perfect for parties and friendly competition. The private office cabin has its own full bath. The boathouse (1985) has four bays, a huge dock, and an upper level deck with great views of St. Regis Mountain Fire Tower. There is a drilled well and a modern septic system equipped to handle expansion. A recent survey is available as well. Little Camp will be on the market until early November when the mechanicals are winterized. It will be back on the market in April.
