BCC MONTHLY MEMORY

ARCHIVES

The original Roland Park clubhouse was first known as Roland Park Golf Club back in 1896 and was later recognized as Baltimore Country Club in 1898. Above and behind the first tee was the clubhouse’s semicircular veranda which had a spectacular view of the Jones Falls Valley. The shingle-style clubhouse, designed by the local architectural firm Wyatt & Nolting, was very much in keeping with early Roland Park styles. Unfortunately, the building was fire prone and suffered varying degrees of fire damage in 1905, 1912, and 1930. Sadly, on January 5, 1931, a devastating fire burned the clubhouse to the ground. A new federal style clubhouse was built on the same site, opening in 1933, which is still standing today. ◆
