It also notes the rarity of the wormy chestnut siding. The Adirondack cabins were moved, so they are addressed under the moved-properties consideration.","narrative":"Concord Lodge and five Adirondack cabins form a small cluster of rustic camp buildings at Camp Manatoc, a Boy Scout camp near Peninsula, Ohio. The T-plan lodge dates to 1931, and the identical one-story cabins were built in 1935. All are covered in vertical board-and-batten wormy chestnut siding, a material the nomination calls unobtainable today. The Akron architectural firm of Albert H. Good and Edwin D. Wagner designed them to blend into the wooded setting, with low gable roofs, exposed rafter ends and no decorative trim. The camp grew from a farm bequest and public fundraising, including during the Depression, and its decentralized layout was meant to give scouts more attention from group leaders. The lodge was winterized in 1946 and repaired in 1959 but kept its integrity. The cabins have been relocated within the camp, yet remain in lodging use. The district was recognized for its role in scouting and recreation and for its rustic design.","period_of_significance":"1931-1945","architect_builder":"Good, Albert H.","architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Rustic","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Concord Lodge continues to be used as a lodge, and the Adirondack cabins continue to be used for lodging.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.693832-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/96001513.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"96001515","name":"Kendall, Virginia, State Park Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/kendall-virginia-state-park-historic-district-96001515/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986336","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/camp-manatoc-concord-lodge-and-adirondacks-historic-district-96001513/"}
