History & geography

History

Candlewood Isle was developed in the years immediately following the creation of Candlewood Lake. In 1929, Price, Miller & Schiller Inc. purchased the newly formed island property with plans to develop a highly restricted summer colony. Early homes were designed by architect Robert C. Kilborn. According to Kilborn, Candlewood Isle was developed with strict architectural controls intended to preserve a rustic character. All buildings were required to have exteriors of logs, log slab, log cabin siding or wavy edge siding, wood shingle roofs, and earth-toned colors. Building heights were generally limited to one-and-a-half stories, with attached garages preferred. All construction plans required approval by the supervising architect, with on-site inspections to ensure compliance. The Isle remained a seasonal summer community until the 1960s, when residents began weatherizing their homes for year-round use. In 1962, Candlewood Isle residents petitioned the Town of New Fairfield to establish a special tax district to fund infrastructure and services such as private road maintenance and special police protection, as specified in property deeds. However, it was not until 1970 that the Candlewood Isle Tax District was formally established. On November 7, 1970, it was incorporated as "The Candlewood Isle Community Association, Inc.", before being renamed the "District of Candlewood Isle" in 1972.
