The nominated area is about seven acres with the clubhouse, support buildings, a bowling green and tennis courts.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is the architectural and social centerpiece of the Adirondack Mountain Reserve and a rare, little-altered survivor of a nineteenth-century resort hotel. Its modular two-block plan, angled at 22.5 degrees and joined by a porch turret, is described as unusual and an efficient response to the need for quick, inexpensive construction. It was converted to a private clubhouse in 1905-06.","narrative":"Built in 1890 as St. Hubert's Inn, this large wood-frame clubhouse sits on a shelf of land near Keene Valley in the Adirondack High Peaks. It has two long blocks of guest rooms set at a 22.5-degree angle and joined by a seven-sided, three-level porch tower. Bay windows, gabled dormers, balconies and brick chimneys give the south front its character, with restrained Queen Anne and Stick Style detail. The hotel struggled financially in the 1890s and closed in 1904. The Adirondack Mountain Reserve bought it the next year and converted it into a clubhouse for the newly formed Ausable Club, which has occupied it since 1906. The nominated parcel of about seven acres also includes a casino of 1902, service buildings, a bowling green and tennis courts. The building is considered significant as a rare surviving nineteenth-century resort hotel with little change to its fabric, inside or out, and for its efficient modular design.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Macomb (architect, with colleagues who also designed railroad depots and resort hotels); full name not given in the excerpt","architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne/Stick Style","criteria":[],"status_note":"The Ausable Club has occupied the premises since 1906, and the property is listed with a current function of hotel and recreation and culture.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:47.973121-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/05000683.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/100011461/f2d6adf338-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/100011461/f2d6adf338-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Mwanner","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ausable_Club,_St._Huberts.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Mwanner</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ausable_Club,_St._Huberts.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317754","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausable_Club","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706165"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/essex-county/ausable-club-boundary-increase-100011461/"}
