March 1, 1925 review of Brookline Square by J.E. Ford (North American)

This place went belly-up really fast!  Some of the members then started up Paxon Hollow.

Joe - Thanks. Was the club's failure due to the Great Depression or where there other reasons?

Bob,

They got a real estate buy-out deal that was evidently so good they couldn't refuse shortly after opening.

But the reason they took that real estate offer was b/c they were already in a bad situation financially.  The clubhouse drained them dry.  It was huge.

the clubhouse remained in use for many years after the club moved.  i know many people who attended functions there, and it was used as a satelite campus for temple university for several years.
