CLUBHOUSE
c. 1932, 1980s
Located behind 106 Park Place, on the north side of an alley that extends from S. Boundary Street to Park Place Lane, this one-story, front-gabled cottage is two bays wide and double-pile. It has board-and-batten sheathing with weatherboards in the gables. An exterior brick chimney on the south elevation is flanked by four- and six-light awning windows. A nine-light-over-two-panel door on the east elevation is sheltered by a later front-gabled porch with arched ceiling on square posts. The porch was added and the clubhouse was enlarged significantly after 1974 with a two-bay-wide, gabled wing on the facade and a shed-roofed wing on the right (north) elevation. The original form and additions have a combination of four-, six-, and eight-light wood casement windows including six-light casements, in the gables. County tax records date the building to 1932 and the building is labeled as a clubhouse on the 1932 Sanborn map.

In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.
