This summer kitchen from the shores of Lake George at Pilot Knob in Washington County was built in 1904 on the site of the Old Oakley Farm in Fort Ann.

Originally the camp consisted of this building and another one the same size, which was a bunkhouse.

In 1921 Wilfred Brodeur and a partner started and built the Adirondack Dairy in Glens Falls, on the corner of Ridge and Sanford Streets.  The building is now known as The Time Warner Cable Company.

Mr. Brodeur purchased the camp on May 8, 1934.  When the sale was finalized he went home and told his wife Rose that he had taken care of it and that he didn’t feel well.  Two weeks later he died.

The blue cupboard in the kitchen was there when The Brodeur’s purchased the camp.  They cooked on a kerosene stove and used kerosene lamps.  There was an icebox buried in the ground on the south side of the building.

In 1936 glass windows and electricity were added to the camp.
