A proper place to talk for gentlemen of means in Newburgh
A lengthy profile of the Newburgh City Club tracing its rise as a social hub for city elites since 1892, its emblematic Grand Street building set for possible demolition, and the bid by the school district to purchase and repurpose the site. The piece notes community efforts led by women to preserve Downing and Vaux designed architecture, the club’s fading membership, and reflections from former members on its heyday.
