Cape Photo of the Day - Photo #19


The Cape St. Claire Clubhouse - command center for the CSCIA. Capers have taken care of the business of the Cape, exercised, and hosted celebrations in this building for decades. I don't know what year it was originally built, but the refurbishment done a year or two ago really perked the place up. Keep it in mind if you ever need to rent out a facility for a special event or occasion.

  1. It was built in the early 1950s. There's a date on one of the corners of when the cornerstone was laid. You'd be interested to know that it was built of cinderblock because they couldn't get enough wood rations to build it out of wood, and the funds to build it came from voluntary contributions of community members.

  2. Thanks for the history lesson! I love our clubhouse. One day I'm going to throw a big party down there when the right occasion presents itself.
