Sellers.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the camp is a largely unaltered example of a rustic Adirondack camp of the late 1910s, built on the centralized plan with one main building and few outbuildings. It is also tied to the Adirondack camp movement and regional tourism, in the area of Entertainment/Recreation.","narrative":"Talichito is a remote Adirondack camp on a prominent granite outcropping jutting into the northeastern shore of Schroon Lake, across from the hamlet of Schroon Lake. Paulding F. Sellers, an engineer and executive with the Buffalo General Electric Company, had it built between 1917 and 1920 as a secluded retreat for his family, apart from the busy resort life of the hamlet. The centerpiece is a one-and-one-half story, gable-front cabin of light frame and log construction, with a broad verandah of rounded cedar logs and a rustic granite chimney. Living, sleeping, kitchen and dining functions were gathered in this single building rather than spread across several structures. A pump house, boathouse and icehouse shed complete the historic group. Interior and exterior finishes remain largely original. The Woods family bought the camp in 1945 and used it for summer stays and rentals. It is recognized for its intact rustic design and for what it shows of Adirondack camp life and regional tourism.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1917- ca. 1945","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"OTHER: Rustic/Adirondack Style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Remains a seasonal camp, reached by boat part of the year or by a two-hour overland bushwhack; the main cabin is largely unaltered.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.292292-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/12000533.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317799","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talichito","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23041581"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/essex-county/talichito-12000533/"}
