Perhaps some day not far distant the present clubhouse will give way to an artistic, twelve or fifteen story structure with palatial quarters for the Club on its upper floors, - a swimming pool, a gymnasium, comfortable living quarters, a dining room on the roof overlooking the scenes of its half a century of operation and commanding vistas of the ocean on the south and the increasingly marvelous skyline of New York on the north."
