Title	"Homestead" Girls' Camp
Creator	unknown
Date.Original	1927?-1940?
Description	Shown here as the girls dormitory known as "The Homestead", this house was later purchased and renovated by Saul Bellow. The house was subsequently purchased by Bard College for faculty housing (during which time it was known as "Bellows' House"), but is now a private residence. Apparently it had stood vacant prior to its use here as Mr. Mathews' scrapbook has this description: "...an architectural landmark, for many years unoccupied, now echoes to the laughter of Homestead girls." Eleanor Flynn Matthews, mother of Donna Mathews, was a camp counselor here.
