This unassuming one-room frame building is home to the oldest continually operating gentleman’s club in the United States. It was founded by local planters, merchants, and clergymen through a 1690 land agreement from Nicholas Gassaway, whose sons John and Thomas were among its founding members. The club was established to provide a venue in an otherwise isolated location for “fellowship and fulsome discussion.” Organized after similar clubs in London, weekly meetings featured game roasted in the open-hearth fireplace and secret-recipe punch. Membership remains limited to twenty-five, all the one-story-and-loft building can accommodate, and favors descendants of the original gatherers. The building still lacks electricity and indoor plumbing, although a separate kitchen was erected to the rear in 1909.
