[3] The club's building was designed in 1883 by Richard M. Upjohn as the private home of George Fay and his daughter Lucy, and was constructed in 1884.

The interior of the ground floor is largely intact, with original woodwork carving and panels, as well as painted frescoes.

When he died, his daughter Lucy inherited the property, and continued to reside there until 1910, when she moved to another part of the country.

At the time located at the center of a thriving business community, the club served both as a meetingplace, dining facility, and a networking spot.
