Formally opened on June 15, 1911, this former country club of the Automobile Club of Buffalo was only one of 6 in the entire United States for 46 years, and the only one east of St.Paul, Minnesota.

It is an excellent example of Arts and Craftsman Bungalow-style construction. Its wood frame beam construction covered with a stucco finish is unusual for Western New York, but has weathered the years well.

Some of the building's outstanding features include two large fireplaces with stone exterior chimneys, multiple roof planes, including a circular roof above an entrance porch fashioned by white columns with battered sides, exposed exterior rafter rails and exposed interior timber beams that frame the large main hall along with the two massive fireplaces and a wide open wood staircase leading to a surrounding balcony.
