The agreement with the Lincoln Park board calls for 

 beginning of construction within two years, but the yacht 

 club, with a large number of new members coming in, 

 probably will be in shape to start work during the coming 

 Fall. The club is in excellent financial condition and 

 the members are eager to get the project started as soon 

 as possible. 



Following is a description of the tentative plans sub- 

 mitted by Architect A. N. Rebori: 



Main building 180' long, contains a club room 40'x80', 

 promenade 116' long and a two-story high octagonal din- 

 ing room with extension porches and dining alcoves look- 

 ing out on the water, with south, west and east views. 



A wide porch on the lake side is carried full length of 

 building. From this porch members can view the races. 



A wing extending into the water 100' toward yacht 

 harbor and moorings contains a sail locker room on the 

 lower level, a gangway and committee room on the upper 

 level or deck. 



Bowling alleys, showers and locker rooms with a tunnel 

 to the lake are placed on the lower level beneath the main 

 building. 



A large log room, where records of the world's sailing 

 events are placed, together with trophies belonging to the 

 Club, is a feature in the arrangement of rooms below. 



Above the main club room an unobstructed dancing 

 deck for open air dancing is provided, 100'x40'. 



Above dance deck, in the tower, is the observation deck, 

 where telescopes and signals will be arranged in the latest 

 scientific nautical manner. A large room is provided in 

 this lookout tower for the Yachting Committee, making 

 it possible to direct the many regattas and other events, 

 international in their scope, planned for the coming 

 season. 



The general design of the building is along lines con- 

 sistent with the latest marine architecture expressed in 

 structural building terms. In general appearance tlie 

 building will be low and expansive, with broad decks, 

 promenades and large unobstructed glass areas affording 

 the naaximum of air, sunshine and view. 



From the main club room, with its heavy beamed ceil- 

 ing, and ribbed construction of an ocean liner type, we 

 pass into the spacious dining room with its extended view 

 on all sides. 



In the centre of the dining room there is a huge fire- 

 place that will bring cheer to the sailorman's heart. It 

 has four openings, one on eacli point of the compass, 

 permitting of wide gatherings where many a yachting story 

 may be spun. 



A wide and graceful stairs very much like the broad 

 companionway of a huge ship, leads to the dance deck 

 above and winds its way down to the locker rooms, log 

 room and boat landing. 



The kitchen and service portion affords facilities for 

 serving 1,000 guests at a single sitting. In view of the 

 great yachting events planned, this kitchen will not only 

 encourage, but will attract, sportsmen from all over the 

 world. 



An attempt has been made to take care of yachting 

 in all its branches, and very few of the approved and 

 up-to-date requirements have been overlooked in the lay- 

 out.
