The camp is now a private summer residence and not open to the public. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which protects the structures from federal project impacts.
The camp preserves original cedar bark sheathing and decorative twig work on the verandas dating to the 1880s. These handcrafted details are rare surviving examples of Adirondack architecture from that period.
