Copy of a customer's print of the Allenmore Golf Club's "club room" on July 12, 1939. Sam Allen founded the Allenmore Golf Course in 1931. The Allenmore club house, designed by Nelson and Round, architects, was one of the most elaborate buildings of its kind in the Northwest when it was built in 1931. It had both men's and women's locker rooms and showers in the basement, and a club room, kitchen and lunch room on the first floor. On the second floor there were two bedrooms and a small apartment. The interior of the club room provided a comfortable place for golfers to relax between rounds of golf. It contained an open beamed ceiling, walls paneled in knotty West Coast Hemlock and an enormous stone fireplace fronted by padded lounge chairs. A bar and coffee counter were also amenities. The date of the original print was July 12, 1939 and the original Richards Studio number was Series A8550 image 2. The copy was made for Sam Allen on January 26, 1957. (also numbered A8550 image 2)
