Grosse Pointe Yacht Club

The Grosse Pointe Yacht Club is a private marina and sailing club founded in 1914 and located on the shore of Lake St. Clair in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan. It was founded in 1914 through the efforts of a group of 25 sailing and iceboating enthusiasts. Grosse Pointe Yacht Club is a member of the Detroit Regional Yacht-racing Association (DRYA).
The club is prominently visible and a well-known landmark along the shoreline of the lake north of Detroit. Its facilities were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
== A Brief History ==

The 18th century Italian Renaissance-style clubhouse was designed by Boston architect Guy Lowell. Guy Lowell was commissioned in the 1920s to design the clubhouse. Tragically, Lowell died at sea before his plans were fully developed, but his concept of an 18th-century Italian renaissance building combining sun-washed stucco walls and terra cotta tile, topped by a 187-foot steeple, stands as a spectacular monument to his creative genius. The 187-ft bell tower also serves as a navigational aid for boaters on the lake.〔 The clubhouse officially opened amid great fanfare on July 4, 1929 virtually on the eve of the great depression. It was an ironic beginning to say the least. Fortunately, the club was able to survive the depression and the world war that followed. The prosperous latter half of the 20th century saw a series of upgrades and enhancements to the premises that included an expanded kitchen, updated dining rooms, new recreational facilities, a modernized harbor, and a spectacular swimming pool.
In 1997, the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club was accorded the ultimate honor of being named the "Number One Yacht Club in America" in a national survey of professional club managers. The club has proudly re-earned that honor ever since then.
