Charles Steinmetz Cabin on the Mohawk River, Schenectady, New York, May 16, 1930

01

Artifact Overview

Charles Steinmetz owned this cabin overlooking a tributary of the Mohawk River, just outside of Schenectady, New York. The cabin's simplicity was a contrast to the General Electric laboratories where Steinmetz spent his workweek. It served as a getaway -- for quiet study or writing, but also for more animated weekend camp gatherings for selected friends and associates.
