Buildings
|
The manor was the main house at Oakledge, serving as the Webb's primary residence before they moved to Shelburne. For decades afterward the manor was the centerpiece of an upper-scale resort. It was burned in the 1970s by the Burlington Fire Department, and the site now houses a picnic pavilion. The property also included the original farmhouse and numerous barns. | |||||||||||||

Bungalows

| During the resort years, many smaller cabins were erected in the woods along the lake shore. Named for various U.S. Presidents, these could be rented for family or private getaways. Many of the chimneys and foundations from these cabins (or bungalows) can still be found in the woods today. | ||||||||||||||
