A key building in the Lexington Revival
Lexington House was, according to a number of late-nineteenth century accounts, considered to be one of the finest, most popular resorts of the period, offering a broad range of entertainment and activity.
The Lexington House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The PBS documentary film “The Loss of Nameless Things” recounts the life of playwright Oakley “Tad” Hall III, founder of the Lexington Conservatory Theater, a summer stock company, and the events that transpired around Lexington House in the 1970s.
It was part of a property called Camp Lexington Center for Performing Arts, owned by Evelyn and Hy Weisberg, from approximately 1950 to 1970. For part of that time, the older girl campers lived in the building, which was then called the Sorority House.
The Lexington House was owned by Art Awareness, Inc. in the 1970s, which used the property for arts education and production. It was purchased by the Ensemble Studio Theater in the 1990s for use as an artists' retreat.

Tick Check
Ticks are an issue when traveling upstate so always make sure to do a tick check when you come indoors from a hike. There is some tick repellant available at the home if you'd like to use it. If a tick does bite you, look online for how to properly remove and dispose of a tick.
