It contains every luxury and convenience for its member, including gymnasium, swimming pool, turkish baths, handball and squash courts, bowling alleys, sleeping rooms, dining room, library, reading room, billiard room, lounge, etc. It is one of the show places of Detroit, being, in reality, the most classic building in the city.
