The Mead Camp is a historic summer house on the shore of Doolittle Lake in northeastern Norfolk, Connecticut.
[1] The Mead Camp is located at the southwestern end of Doolittle Lake, an exclusive summer retreat area in rural northeastern Norfolk.
It is oriented with its long side facing the lake, and has a main block with a series of extensions to the south that reduce in width and height, ending in a covered porch with stone posts.
[2] The land on which the camp stands was originally part of a large landholding of the Benedict family, prominent farmers in northern Norfolk.
[3] This camp was built in 1930 for Grace Hartley Jenkins Mead, a philanthropist and trustee emeritus of Columbia University's Teachers College to a design by Alfredo S.G. Taylor, an architect based in New York City who summered in Norfolk.
