Stotesbury, a prominent Philadelphia financier who used it as a rural retreat connected with his equestrian activities. It is described as a modest but stylish club house that incorporates Arts and Crafts characteristics such as indigenous materials, careful craftsmanship, and an inglenook living room.","narrative":"Built between 1904 and 1908 to designs by Edwin A. Yeo, a young Philadelphia architect, the Stotesbury Club House is a one-and-one-half-story cedar-shingled frame house with a gable roof, an open front porch carried on three Roman Doric columns, and a truncated rock-faced schist chimney at its east end. Its living room contains a segmental-arched schist fireplace flanked by built-in benches and bookcases. Edward T. Stotesbury, a Drexel & Co. partner who became senior partner in 1902, used the house as a retreat connected with his horse breeding at the adjoining Winoga Stock Farm, which he developed on a 40-acre tract. Stotesbury sold the property in 1924. The house is regarded as a fine early example of Arts and Crafts architecture in the Philadelphia region, using native schist and shingle with restrained craftsmanship in its paneling and masonry.","period_of_significance":"1904-1908","architect_builder":"Edwin A.
