Country Club of Pittsfield

From it’s beginnings as the grand Dutch Colonial mansion home of Henry Van Schaack in the 1700’s to the majestic and stately clubhouse that it is today, the Country Club of Pittsfield has been the center for social activity for an impressive list of guests both famous and historic. “If any building now standing in Pittsfield deserves to be described as ‘historic’ it is the clubhouse of the Country Club of Pittsfield on South Street, over 175 years old. At this late date there are only a handful of older houses left in the city, but the Country Club property owes its peculiar standing to something beyond mere age, to some quality that has, over the years, brought to its doors a long parade of the great, the near-great and the interesting.” (Berkshire Eagle, August 13, 1960).
