Roosevelt Hall (Skaneateles)
Roosevelt Hall (also known as the Richard DeZeng House or Lakota) is a historic home in Skaneateles, New York. History In 1838, Richard Lawrence DeZeng (1788–1848), a retired engineer and canal builder from Oswego, New York, bought the 220-acre property in Skaneateles for $12,000. In the same year, Nicholas Roosevelt and his wife, Lydia Latrobe Roosevelt (daughter of architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe), also retired to Skaneateles. The first foundation stone was laid in May 1839. DeZeng hired George Casey of Auburn, New York to construct the 25-room Greek Revival mansion at a cost of $18,000 (with an additional $11,000 spent on interior furnishings). The DeZengs call the home, Lake Home. The home may be the work of Ithiel Town, the partner of Alexander Jackson Davis, who designed the nearby 1852 home of Reuel E. Smith, also in Skaneateles. Ownership In September 1849, the home and 113.78 of the original remaining acres were sold by DeZeng's estate (who died in 1848) ...

Knickerbocker Club
The Knickerbocker Club (known informally as The Knick) is a gentlemen's club in New York City that was founded in 1871. It is considered to be the most exclusive club in the United States and one of the most aristocratic gentlemen's clubs in the world.

By the 1950s, urban social club membership was dwindling, in large part because of the movement of wealthy families to the suburbs.
