Oak Lodge is a property in Killingworth, Connecticut that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
It was built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The lodge was built on the west side of Schreeder Pond, an artificial pond also built by the CCC. It was part of the development of recreational activities within Cockaponset State Forest. The CCC benefited from the construction excellence of its masons, wrought-iron smiths, and woodworkers, and some of their best work is shown in Oak Lodge.[3]
It includes Rustic and other architecture.[1]
When listed the property included three contributing buildings and one contributing structure. The buildings include the lodge itself, two bath houses, and the pond.[3]
The listing is for an area of 12.5 acres (5.1 ha).[1]
The listing is described in its NRHP nomination document.[3]
The property was covered in a 1985 Connecticut state-wide study of 15 depression-era CCC, FERA, CWA, and WPA structures.[2]
