The seven-acre district includes the clubhouse, casino, service buildings, a bowling green and tennis courts.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the clubhouse as the architectural and social centerpiece of the Adirondack Mountain Reserve. Its modular plan, with two blocks splayed 22.5 degrees and joined by a porch turret, is described as unusual. It is also called a remarkably rare surviving nineteenth-century resort hotel with little change to its fabric.","narrative":"Built in 1890 as St. Hubert's Inn, this rambling wood-frame clubhouse sits on a shelf of land near Keene Valley, surrounded by the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. Two long guestroom blocks are set at a 22.5-degree angle and joined by a three-level, seven-sided porch tower, a design the nomination describes as an inventive response to the need for quick, inexpensive construction. Detailing is restrained, with Queen Anne and Stick Style touches such as bay windows, gabled dormers, balconies and brick chimneys. The hotel struggled financially and closed in 1904. The Adirondack Mountain Reserve bought it the next year and converted it to a clubhouse for the newly formed Ausable Club, which has used it since 1906. The listed area covers about seven acres, including a 1902 casino, service buildings, a bowling green and tennis courts. Few nineteenth-century resort hotels survive with so little change inside or out.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Macomb (architect, with colleagues who also designed depots, railroad infrastructure and resort hotels)","architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne/Stick Style","criteria":[],"status_note":"Hotel closed in 1904; the Adirondack Mountain Reserve bought it in 1905 and the Ausable Club has occupied the clubhouse since 1906.
