Camp Uncas, Late 19th-century rustic camp in Adirondacks, New York, US.

The camp features log buildings with beveled corners, including a main lodge, two guest cabins, and a boathouse on Lake Mohegan's shore.

William West Durant constructed Camp Uncas in 1895, selling it to financier J.P. Morgan in 1897, who maintained the property for family vacations.

The dining hall incorporates a 20-foot cathedral ceiling, polished wooden surfaces, and a large stone fireplace that exemplifies Adirondack architecture.

The property encompasses 1,500 acres with a beach area and includes a half-mile trail circling the 4.4-acre central portion of the estate.

The buildings demonstrate an unusual construction method where logs are pinned together rather than interlocked at their corners.

Location: New York

Architectural style: rustic architecture
