IHarvard Club yaseNew York: Ukuzivocavoca ngenhlonipho engokomlando

I-Harvard Club yaseNew York ku-27 West 44th Street yaqala yakhiwa ngo-1894 (nezengezo ezinkulu ngo-1905, 1915, 1947 kanye no-2003) futhi yaklanywa nguMcKim, Mead & White. Idizayini yayo yakudala yesiGeorgia ikhumbula izakhiwo eziseHarvard Yard eCambridge. Ngo-1966, i-Landmarks Preservation Commission yaqoka i-Harvard Club yaseNew York njengengqophamlando naphezu kokuphikiswa kwe-Harvard Club ekuqokweni okuhlongozwayo. Kwakungesinye sezakhiwo zokuqala eNew York ukubizwa ngokuthi indawo eyingqopha-mlando. Iphinde ifakwe ohlwini lwe-US National Register of Historic Places.

Yasungulwa ingenayo indawo, iklabhu yaqale yaqasha indlu yedolobha ku-11 West 22nd Street. Ngo-1888, kwatholwa indawo ku-44th Street, futhi kwakhiwa indlu entsha yekilabhu eduze neNew York Yacht Club, Yale Club kanye neGeneral Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen yeDolobha laseNew York. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Harvard House, njengoba kwakhiwa amalungu abizwa ngokuthi i-clubhouse entsha, amalungu athenga indawo ku-31 West 44th Street ukuze kwandiswe esikhathini esizayo.

I-clubhouse yasekuqaleni yaklanywa ngu-Charles Follen McKim wakwaMcKim, Mead & White ngo-1884. Umbiko Wokuqokwa (Januwari 11, 1967) we-Landmarks Preservation Commission uyichaze kanje:

Ukuhlala uqondile futhi unesithunzi ku-West Forty-Fourth Street yile ndlu yeklabhu yase-Georgian eyisikwele nenhle. Ubuhle balesi sakhiwo busesitini saso esibomvu esine-limestone trim kanye nesilinganiso saso esiseduze, ukucolisiswa okuntekenteke kwemininingwane yaso emihle, nokuvumelana okujabulisayo kwezingxenye zaso zezakhiwo ezihlobene kahle. Ukuphakama okungaphambili kuqukethe i-motif enhle, lapho umnyango omkhulu wokungena ezingeni lomgwaqo uzungezwe yifasitela eliphakathi nendawo elinesihloko esiyindilinga, elizungezwe ngamapheya amabili amakholomu e-limestone e-Ionic ahlala onqenqemeni lwesitezi sesibili futhi asekela ukhonkolo ocwengisiswe kahle wesitezi sesithathu. . Ngaphezulu kwalokhu futhi phakathi kwamafasitela amabili isihlangu esihle esibaziweyo sase-Harvard University. Emgqeni ophahleni, i-coping yetshe, emboze udonga lwepharamitha yezitini, isekela isici esiphakathi nendawo esihlanganiswe nebhola letshe elinenkanyezi elizungezwe ama-consoles amabili abekwe avundlile.

Njengoba ubulungu bekilabhu bukhula, isengezo sokuqala sakhiwa ngo-1905 esasihlanganisa ne-Harvard Hall enhle kakhulu. Abagxeki abaningi bezakhiwo babheka i-Harvard Hall njenge-clubroom enhle kunazo zonke eNtshonalanga Nenkabazwe, uma kungewona umhlaba. Ngophahla lwayo olunezitezi ezintathu nokuphakama kwamapulangwe amahle, iyindawo eyivelakancane nekhethekile. Ukuphakama komgwaqo wamashumi amane nanhlanu kubhekwa abaningi njengokulingana ngekhwalithi naleyo yefaçade yokungena emigwaqweni engamashumi amane nane. Lolu donga lwangaphandle luqukethe amafasitela anezitezi ezintathu anamakhanda ayindilinga abekwe phakathi kwama-pilaster ezitini, asiza ukukhanyisa i-Harvard Hall. Ukwengezwa kwango-1905 futhi kwakuqukethe Igumbi Lokudlela, umtapo wolwazi omusha, igumbi lokuhlangana, igumbi lebhilidi kanye namakamelo amabili okulala okuhlala ubusuku bonke.

I-Bulletin ye-Harvard Club yangomhla zingama-20 kuMfumfu, 1902 yanikela ingxenye enkulu yalolo daba ukuchaza izinhlelo zokunwetshwa kokuqala kweKlabhu: “I-Harvard Club yase-NYC isanda kwamukela izinhlelo zokwengeza kwi-Club House ezodlula ngokusebenziseka kalula futhi. iduduza noma yisiphi isakhiwo sobuntu bayo emhlabeni.” Lapho lo msebenzi usuqediwe, kwaba nokubuyela ekhaya eHarvard Hall, ngo-December 7, 1905 noMongameli weNyuvesi yaseHarvard uCharles W. Eliot njengesikhulumi esiyinhloko.

Eminyakeni eyishumi kamuva, umdwebi wamapulani uCharles McKim waklama umbhoshongo onezitezi eziyisikhombisa ngo-1915. Wengeza indawo yokucima ukoma, indawo yokudlela esemthethweni enezihlalo ezingu-300, amagumbi okuhlangana engeziwe namakamelo okulala, izinkundla ze-squash kanye nedamu lokubhukuda elibizwa ngokuthi i-Plunge esitezi sesikhombisa. Ngesikhathi Sokuwohloka Okukhulu Kwezomnotho, amaphupho okwanda abekwa etafuleni nakuba ubulungu buqhubeka bukhula. Phakathi neMpi Yezwe II, isidingo sezindlu zokulala sasisikhulu kangangokuthi indawo yokubhukuda yasePlunge yadilika ukuze kwakhiwe indawo yokulala lapho amalungu ayengaqasha khona umbhede ebusuku.

Ngemva kweMpi Yezwe II, njengoba uMthethosivivinywa we-GI wawuxhasa ngezimali omakadebona ukuthi baye ekolishi, ukubhaliswa kweHarvard kwanda. Ngokulandelayo, ubulungu be-Harvard Club banda okubangela ukuba iqale okunye ukunwetshwa ngokwakha kabusha isakhiwo esiseduze esinezitezi ezinhlanu ku-33 W. 44th Street (iklabhu ekade inabo kusukela ngo-1931). Kodwa-ke, izitezi ezingaphezulu kwezinga lomgwaqo azizange zihambisane neClubhouse. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izitezi ezintathu eziphezulu zazakhiwe ngezinto ezivuthayo futhi ngokomthetho zazingenakusetshenziselwa amagumbi okuguqa. Lezi zitezi ezintathu zabhidlizwa futhi izitezi ezimbili zokuqala zanikeza amahhovisi ezisebenzi ezengeziwe, kanye nokunwetshwa kweGumbi Lokudlela Labesifazane, indlu yangasese yamadoda kanye ne-Main Bar.

Njengoba ubulungu bukhula baba ngaphezu kwamalungu angu-10,000 ngo-2000, iKlabhu yanquma ukwanda ngokwakha isakhiwo esisha esakhiweni esiku-35 West 44th Street. Inselele yedizayini ebhekene nefemu yezokwakha ye-Davis Brody Bond ukuthi le ndawo yayiphakathi kwendawo eyingqophamlando ka-Charles McKim i-Harvard Clubhouse kanye ne-Warren & Wetmore's New York Yacht Club. Ingilazi enezitezi eziyisishiyagalombili nesengezo se-limestone eyimpikiswano ku-Harvard Club yaseNew York kwavulwa ekupheleni kuka-2003 ukuze kube nezibuyekezo ezixubile. “Kwakuwumsebenzi wokuhlonipha,” kusho uChristopher K. Grabe; uzakwethu e-Davis Brody Bond, "ezama ukugcwalisa izakhiwo zomlando ezikhona ngesakhiwo esisha esiklanywe saphinde sakhiwa ngesikhathi saso."

Iphiko elisha elingu-$30 million, 41,000 square foot laxhaswa ngokwengxenye ngokuthengiswa komdwebo kaJohn Singer Sargent, “The Chess Game” ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyi-12.5. Isakhiwo esingamamitha angu-50 ububanzi sinendawo yokwamukela abantu abakhubazekile; amadili amasha namakamelo enkomfa; 16 amagumbi ezivakashi engeziwe (ukuletha ingqikithi yamagumbi ezivakashi angama-73); amahhovisi amasha okuphatha esitezi sesithupha; isikhungo sokufaneleka se-duplex esinwetshiwe kanye nezinkantolo ze-squash ezengeziwe. Le phrojekthi iphinde yahlinzeka ngezinsiza ezithuthukisiwe zasendlini okuhlanganisa ikhishi lesimanje, ohhavini be-pizza nama-popover, I-Main Bar entsha, izindlu zangasese ezintsha zabesilisa nabesifazane kanye neGumbi Lokudla elinwetshiwe.

I-Harvard Club yaseNew York ihlale idlula amanye amakilabhu enyuvesi ngemali engenayo ngegumbi ngalinye elitholakalayo (i-Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Penn) nakuba u-22% wezindlu zayo zezihambeli zingenawo amagumbi okugeza angasese. Amalungu eClub angu-11,000 nangaphezulu (angaphansi kuka-24% angabesifazane) akhokha imali ekhokhwa minyaka yonke ukuze akwazi ukufinyelela egumbini lokudlela elisemthethweni, i-Grill Room ne-bar, amagumbi okufundela ahlotshisiwe nomtapo wolwazi, isikhungo sokuzilolonga esiyi-duplex, izinkantolo ze-squash, amagumbi okuhlangana namadili kanye ne-Harvard. Ihholo.

Kuthathe kwaze kwaba ngu-1973 ukuthi owesifazane wokuqala aqokelwe ubulungu beKlabhu. Wayengu-Heide Nitze '62, indodakazi kaPaul Nitze '28, umeluleki wenqubomgomo isikhathi eside komongameli baseMelika. Eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu nanhlanu ngaphambili, iKlabhu yayinomnyango oyimfihlo, owehlukene wabesifazane owawuthatha izihambeli zesifazane ukhuphuke ngezitebhisi ezihlukene kanye nomnyango owawumbozwe njengekhabethe lezincwadi e-Gordon Reading Room futhi wehlele e-Grill Room. Ngo-2008, i-Club yakhetha umongameli wesifazane wokuqala ngqa, u-Nicole M. Parent, umqondisi ophethe kwa-Credit Suisse othole i-BA kwezomnotho evela e-Harvard.

Umuntu wokuqala wase-Afrika waseMelika ukuthweswa iziqu e-Harvard University kwakunguRichard Theodore Greener (1844-1922) ngo-1869. UGreener kamuva wathola i-LL.B. iziqu e-University of South Carolina Law School ngo-1876, wathweswa iziqu ngama-honours. Wasebenza njengoDini weHoward University Law School futhi kamuva waba yi-Consul yenkonzo yangaphandle eNdiya, eRussia naseChina. Ngemva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi ngo-1906, wajoyina i-Harvard Club yaseChicago, ngokusobala engowokuqala wase-Afrika waseMelika ukwamukelwa. Owokuqala wase-Afrika waseMelika ukukhethwa njengomongameli weKlabhu kwakunguReginald F. Lewis (Umthetho we-Harvard '71).

Ngo-April 23, 1994, i-New York Times yabika ukuthi “Inani labasebenzi abangu-118 base-Harvard Club basesitelekeni, baphume emigwaqweni engcolile ngaphandle kwe-clubhouse eneminyaka engu-100 ubudala eWest 44th Street off Fifth Avenue. woza uhambe. “Iqembu libe nenkontileka ne-Local 6 yeHotel, Restaurant and Club Employees Union. Yayizama ukwehlisa izindleko zayo zomsebenzi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, idinga izisebenzi ukuba zikhokhe amaphesenti ayishumi kuya kwangu-10 ezindleko zemishwalense yazo yezempilo nangokuyichaza kabusha imisebenzi yazo. Ikilabhu iphinde yafuna ukwehlisa amaholo kubasebenzi abasha abasebenza amahora angaphansi kuka-15 ngonyaka futhi ikhokhe ibhonasi engu-$1,000 kubasebenzi abafanelekile abahoxisa usizo lwezempilo. “Sizama nje ukuthola indlela yokubhekana nezindleko zethu, njenganoma yiliphi elinye ibhizinisi,” kusho uDonald L. Shapiro, umongameli we-New York Federal Savings Bank owayengumongameli weqembu ngaleso sikhathi.

Ngo-October 13, 1994, isiteleka esinomsindo nesiphazamisayo ngokumelene ne-Harvard Club saphela ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisithupha isivumelwano i-New York Times eyathi “sabonakala singaphumeleli ekunqobeni iqembu.” Amanye amalungu abe nomuzwa wokuthi ikilabhu ilahlekelwe kakhulu kunaleyo elikuzuzile.

Ngemva kokuvulwa kwesakhiwo esisha esinempikiswano ku-35 W. 44th Street ngo-2004, i-Harvard Club yaseNew York ayizange ibukeke kangcono. Amalungu angu-11,000 plus ajabulela iklabhu yasenyuvesi egqokelwe ngokuphelele ngokuphelele eNew York okuhlanganisa:

• Amakamelo ezivakashi angu-73- ane-air conditioned, amandla e-Wi-Fi, ama-HDTV ayisicaba, imisakazo yewashi, omatilasi abangaphezulu komcamelo, okomisa izinwele, i-valet, isevisi yegumbi (ngamahora e-Main Dining Room), ahlotshiswe ngezithombe zohlobo olulodwa, amabhanela, amaphosta nezinye izinto zobuciko zase-Harvard University.

• 23,000 sq. ft. triplex isikhungo sokufaneleka esihlanganisa izinkantolo ze-squash ezine zamazwe ngamazwe kanye nezintathu zaseMelika, okokusebenza kwesimanjemanje, izinsizakalo zokwelashwa kokubhucungwa, amakilasi e-yoga nokufaneleka, atholakala izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngeviki.

• Umtapo wezincwadi onezincwadi ezingu-20,000 kanye nezikhokhelo zomagazini namaphephandaba ezingaphezu kuka-100.

• Amakamelo ayishumi nesishiyagalombili emihlangano namadili ahlinzeka ngendawo ekahle yemihlangano yebhizinisi, izinsuku zokuzalwa, imishado, ama-bar/bat mitzvah kanye nemikhosi yamaholide.

• Igumbi lokudlela elisemthethweni lezihlalo ezingama-300

• I-Grill Room elingahlelekile elinetafula le-buffet

• Ibha Enkulu

Ngo-Agasti 2014, i-Harvard Club yavula indawo entsha yophahla lwendlu esitezi sesishiyagalolunye. Ihlanganisa ibha yophahla, ithala elingaphandle, igumbi lokungena, amagumbi ezivakashi kanye nekhishi lesevisi.

Ungalokothi ukhohlwe ukuthi i-Harvard Club ngokuyinhloko iyiklabhu yangasese inhloso yayo enkulu kuwukuhlinzeka amalungu ayo. Njengoba ilungu ngalinye kulawo angu-11,000 kanye nenani likhokha izinkokhelo zonyaka, ngokwemvelo bazizwa benentshisekelo eqinile yokuphathelene neKlabhu. Ngakho-ke, amasiko amadala ayahlonishwa futhi agcinwe futhi ushintsho lwenzeka kancane. Ukheshi namakhadi esikweletu awasetshenziswa. Omakhalekhukhwini namakhamera kuvunyelwe kuphela ezingxenyeni ezithile zeklabhu. Akhona amakhodi okugqoka kodwa awekho amathiphu.

NgoJanuwari 31, 1908, esidlweni sakusihlwa saminyaka yonke eHarvard Hall, amadoda angama-406 agqoke uthayi omhlophe nemisila ezwa uThomas Slocum (owaba nguMongameli weClub kamuva ngo-1924). Ephawula ukuthi labo ababezoba abasha baseHarvard manje bathathe izivivinyo zokungena eClub, uSlocum waqagela ukuthi lokho kungase kusho ukuthini kumfana onjalo: “Uza lapha, futhi ukhuphuka izitebhisi ezintathu phakathi kwezithombe zezicukuthwane zaseHarvard futhi, njengoba eqalaza. ngapha nangapha, uthi, 'Kumelwe ngingene kuleli kolishi ukuze ngijoyine le kilabhu.

NjengoMongameli wamanje we-Harvard Club yaseDolobheni laseNew York, ngibhala le ncwadi eyireferensi kaStanley Turkel egameni leKlabhu. UMnu. Turkel usebenze njengeBamba likaMenenja Jikelele weKlabhu futhi unikeze izinsiza zokubonisana phakathi kukaMeyi 2004 noMeyi 2005.

Ngalesi sikhathi esifanayo, Ibhodi Labaphathi beliqhuba uphenyo olunzulu lokuthola iMenenja Jikelele entsha yeKlabhu. Ubuholi obunolwazi bukaMnu. Turkel ngesikhathi sakhe soguquko babubalulekile ekwenzeni iKlabhu ikwazi ukugcina izinga eliphezulu lenkonzo edingwa amalungu ethu. Ukwengeza, wakwazi futhi ukusungula ubuhlobo nabasebenzi beKlabhu, bobabili abasebenzi benyunyana nabaphathi, okwaholela ekusetshenzisweni ngempumelelo kwenani lentuthuko yokuphatha nokusebenza eKlabhuni. Lokhu kuthuthukiswa kuholele ekongeni ngedola okuphusile kuKlabhu kuzo zombili izindleko ezincishisiwe ze-overhead kanye nokwenyuka kwezinga lokusebenza ngaphandle kokuphazamisa ukuzibophezela kweKlabhu kukhwalithi.

Uma nginganikeza noma yiluphi ulwazi olungeziwe olungaba usizo, sicela ungangabazi ukungithinta.
