Notes
  • 1996 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Entry
  • Significance: A Jewish Union-sponsored children's camp (1927-67), it is home to 2 dormitories designed by Louis I. Kahn, an American architect of Post-War Modernism. Kahn (1901-1974) was named to the Building Bureau of the National Jewish Welfare Board in 1946. This organization was responsible for the overseeing the architectural component of Jewish social services. As noted on the original dormitory sketches house in the Kahn archives at the University of Pennsylvania, plans were drawn between March and June of 1947 under the firm "Oscar Stonorov and Louis I. Kahn, Associated Architects, 1728 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA"...
