Up for sale I have a vintage real photopostcard ofThe Emporium Lumber Company Store at Conifer NY, Adirondacks. This is another H. M. Beach photo postcard.

Conifer-- A hamlet southwest of Piercefield village. Conifer was a logging town near Piercefield, New York and at its height boasted the Emporium Lumber Company Mill and eventually a Heywood Wakefield Mill. Many photo cards listing the location as Childwold are from Henry Beach. At that time Conifer was a just a spot on the map and not quite ready for a post office. The village still exist today but the mills are long gone.

Massawepie Lake is located in the Adirondack Mountains ofNew York State, U.S., and a Boy Scout camp surrounding the lake. LakeMassawepie is located in the town of Piercefield, in southern St. LawrenceCounty, New York, approximately 12 miles (19 km) southwest of the village ofTupper Lake, New York. The lake is approximately 750 acres (3.0 km2), at anelevation of approximately 1700 feet (520 m) above sea level, and flows southinto one of the tributaries of the Grasse River. The name of the lake itself isIroquois origin, meaning \"the beaver\'s lake\".

One of most notable geographic features is the MassawepieMire located immediately to the south of the lake. It is bordered by two longnorth-south eskers. Hundreds of acres in size, the bog is one of the largest ofits kind in the Eastern United States and is almost entirely on the Boy Scoutcamp\'s property.

In 1890, the Childwold Park House, commonly known as theChildwold Hotel, opened on the shoreline of Massawepie Lake, just east of themain Flagpole of the current camp. In the days before air-conditioning,upperclass residents of New York City would retreat to the Adirondacks toescape the summer heat. Visitors to Childwold Park would take the New YorkCentral Railroad north from Utica and get off at Childwold Station. From therethey would take a 7-mile (11 km) trip along the Carriage Road to the hotel. Thehotel closed in 1909.
