  • Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’S Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City
    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’s Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 GENTLEMEN’S CLUBS IN LONDON Nell Benjamin describes her fictional Explorers Club in the opening stage directions of the play: We are in the bar of the Explorers club. It is decorated in high Victorian style, with dark woods, leather chairs, and weird souvenirs from various expeditions like snowshoes, African masks, and hideous bits of taxidermy. There is a sofa, a bar, and several cushy club chairs. A stair leads up to club bedrooms. Pictured above is the bar at the Savile Club in London, which is a traditional gentlemen’s club founded in 1868 and located at 69 Brook Street in Mayfair. Most of the gentlemen’s clubs in existence in London in 1879, the time of the play, had been established earlier, and were clustered together closer to the heart of the city. Clubs in the Pall Mall area were: The Athenaeum, est. 1824; The Travellers Club, est. 1819; The (original) Reform Club, 1832; The Army and Navy Club, 1837; Guard’s Club, 1810; United University Club, est. 1821, which became the Oxford and Cambridge Club in 1830; and the Reform Club (second location), est. 1836. Clubs on St. James Street were: Whites, est. 1693; Brooks, est. 1762; Boodles, est. 1762; The Carlton Club, 1832; Pratt’s, est. 1857; and Arthur’s, est. 1827. Clubs in St. James Square were: The East India Club, est. 1849 and Pratt’s, est. 1857.

  • Club Architecture a Vessel of Behavior, Language and Politics
    Club ArChiteCture A vessel of behAvior, lAnguAge And politiCs Without constituting a heterotopia, since it is not a place to confine ‘otherness’ but to bring together those who precisely turn away from it, the club is perhaps the best-known urban manifestation of a space of exception. Explaining its emergence in Victorian England, and analyzing one of its emblematic cases in London, this text allows us to understand not only the club spatiality but also its architectural politics of exclusion. Keywords · typology, exclusion, gentlemen, Reform Club, London Clubbism is a great mystery, and its adepts must be cautious as to how they explain its shibboleth to the outer barbarian. (Sala, 1862:207) There is something about clubs that inspire curiosity; they are at- tractive because you are not a part of them. They are exclusive with codes that are furtive to non-members. Club architecture works as a boundary that divides public life from private space where only mem- bers and their guests can access, a condition that is usually reinforced by staircases, vestibules or grand entrances. The facade can give you some hints about the club’s life, but only the interior can unravel what it is about. Its way of life is transmitted through its spaces. Once inside the clubhouse, space triggers a change in attitude; an effect that is only similar to religious architecture, where rituals establish the appropriate way to act. Churches and clubs are gath- ering spaces for closed communities that have speech and social interaction as their main activity. In the club, as in the temple, the relation between behavior and space becomes more evident when you don’t understand the ‘belief’ or culture behind the conduct.

  • Reform Club Victorian London
    this page is from The Dictionary of Victorian London see also cookies policy Victorian London - Entertainment and Recreation - Clubs - Reform Club The Reform Club is a majestic building, practically square and reminiscent of the Farnese Palace in Rome. It is two floors high, with nine windows along the frontage and eight on the sides. A porter sits at a desk in the lobby, to answer visitors' questions and probably to see that none but members penetrate within its imposing portals. The interior hall is surrounded by colonnades supporting a large gallery. The floor is tessellated in imitation of Roman mosaic. The pillars are made of stucco of the colour of Siennese marble; the dome which lights the hall is of diapered flint glass and is supported by twenty Ionic columns; their red porphyry basements breaking the line of a stone balustrade rest on the gallery, which is reached by a broad white marble stairway. This gallery, where one can stroll as in a covered cloister, is fitted with easy chairs, mirrors, pictures and a thick carpet. It is a kind of general sitting-room from which you can observe the hall below into which visitors are ushered. A drawing-room so large that it must intended for dancing, a card-room, reading-room, and private reception-rooms open into this gallery, as do also the two important libraries; the one containing literary works, the other legal and political ones. There are two librarians on the staff of the club. On the upper floor there are a considerable number of bedrooms.

  • The Reform Club, Pall Mall, London
    AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS – CHECK THAT A.C. THE REFORM CLUB, LONDON by Lew Toulmin We stayed at the Reform Club for two nights in late June 2010 and have written up a full report. SUMMARY The Club is in a beautiful building in historic Pall Mall, a super location just a few hundred yards from St. James Palace. Room rates are acceptable if not cheap. Visitors should avoid the non-air-conditioned second floor sleeping rooms during warm weather, and request the third floor instead. This newly-installed floor has no windows but does have a modern AC system. HISTORY The Reform Club was founded in 1836 and the current building was designed in 1841 by Charles Barry, one of the leading architects of the day, as a large Italian-style palace based on Palazzo Farnese by Michelangelo. Membership was originally limited to liberal (and Liberal) supporters of the Great Reform Act of 1832, and new members had to sign a document attesting their support, hence the name of the Club. The Club is no longer politically affiliated. Famous members have included Winston Churchill, E.M. Forster, Henry James, Lord Palmerston, William Makepeace Thackeray, Arthur Conan Doyle, David Lloyd George and H.G. Wells. These and other member’s pictures line the walls of the ground floor. I was surprised and pleased to find a picture of a distinguished relative there too. William Lygon, KG, KCMG, CB, KStJ, PC, seventh Earl of Beauchamp, was a Cabinet member and sword-bearer to the King at his coronation. Unfortunately, as documented in Madresfield, the Real Brideshead by Jane Mulvagh, he was forced to flee the country (and resigned the Club) in 1931 to avoid prosecution for homosexual activities.

But that is why the Liberal Democrats hold a special place in the British constitution.’ (Patrick Wintour) Edited by Duncan Brack, with a foreword from Paddy Ashdown.
