The new West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills adjacent to the Jamaica bound Forest Hills Long Island Railroad Station (c. 1914) "[The West Side Tennis Club on Central Park West in Manhattan] had made up its mind to move elsewhere. [At a meeting on Sept. 17, 1912], the chairman [of the relocation committee], Calhoun Craigin, described an ideal location suitable for holding the national championships someday. [A] fantastic place, 10 acres that could be had for $72,000. It was located in Kew Gardens. The members did not share his enthusiasm, objecting to the location and the railfare from the city. At the rather stormy meeting [on Dec. 3, 1912 a] second vote showed a majority of approximately two to one in favor of the Forest Hills site as compared with Kew Gardens and a contract with the Sage Foundation Homes Company was therefore approved."
