Clubhouse

When Duane Lyman designed the clubhouse in 1926, he had a vision of making the complex look as though it had been converted from an old mill (the locker room), the miller’s old brick house (the Grille), a stable (the boiler house), and various other support buildings dating from the early 19th century. The clubhouse proper represents the later and larger home of the mill owner. Inside, the clubhouse was designed and decorated in the American Colonial style. The clubhouse was deemed historically and architecturally significant under Local Landmark Criteria.

The beautiful clubhouse entrance hall is decorated with scenic wallpaper, printed in France by Zuber & Cie. Titled “Vues d’Amérique du Nord,” this magnificent paper was originally created in 1843 by Jean-Julien Deltil, with New York panels added in 1861. The scenes depict Niagara Falls, New York; the Natural Bridge, Virginia; West Point and the Boston Tea Party. In 1961, when Jacqueline Kennedy was First Lady, she acquired a replica of the 32-panel set for the Diplomatic Reception Room in the White House. Each room of the clubhouse has a personality all its own.
