The Clubhouse
As the summer of 1914 came to a close, Worcester’s clubhouse, designed by Worcester architect L.W. Briggs and constructed by the E.J. Cross Company, was nearing completion – and what a clubhouse it was! Architect Briggs, had created “an English country home.” The clubhouse is reported to have cost sixty five thousand dollars, a significant but not princely sum in those days. Today’s equivalent would be just over one million dollars.
Worcester Magazine of November 1914 referred to the Worcester clubhouse as ... “a structure which is not too showy, yet most picturesque; not too rambling, yet perfectly adequate for all the needs of such a club for a long period to come.” The author of the above has been proved prescient.
