The two-level space has sweeping bay views through tall, arched windows on three sides, opposite a gallery sheltering a more intimate space (perhaps formerly a club living room or salon) with a fireplace on the courtyard side. Last June, club membership signed a 90 year lease with the Heafey Group, which would undertake a restoration of the building and then sublease space out to a high end restaurant.
