This is only one of many indications that the architectural clubs of the
country are recognized as permanent and established institutions. With
the spread of this feeling their influence will grow in importance, and
as the working foundation of the profession they deserve all the
encouragement that can be given them.
The Cleveland Architectural Club.
There are none of the now numerous architectural associations of the
country which can more deservingly congratulate themselves upon the
early success of their first few months of existence than the Cleveland
Architectural Club, which was organized on the 22d of last November, and
is now only four months old.
Its original members, fifteen in number, met in the office of Messrs.
Coburn & Barnum, and here the meetings for the few succeeding weeks were
also held.
It soon became evident that a wide field of usefulness was open to the
new organization, and a permanent location of its own would become
necessary. Such a location in the heart of the city, with all necessary
conveniences, was found in the Garfield Building, and the new rooms have
been properly fitted up for the use of the club.
With the purpose of making the influence of its work as far-reaching as
possible, the restriction which has commonly been applied in other
similar clubs, limiting the membership to architects and draughtsmen, or
at least limiting the number of non professional members, has been
entirely done away with, and any one who may have an interest in
architecture or the "allied arts" is eligible for membership.
