English: The College Clubhouse at 264 Summer Street, between Elmwood and Ashland in the Elmwood Village of Buffalo, New York, as seen in November 2019. The house was built in 1904 from a design by the firm of Lansing & Beierl as the home of Philip Smith, a prominent attorney and literature buff whose private library boasted an impressive array of antique books and rare documents and autographs. The house was leased in 1915 by the College Club, an organization formed the previous year whose mission was to advance the social and intellectual interests in Buffalo's small but growing community of college educated women, and purchased outright by it in 1920. The Colonial Revival style is exemplified by a nearly symmetrical red brick façade, with windows framed by white shutters and topped with splayed brick lintels with keystones at their center and a front door topped by a wide arched fanlight and flanked by Doric pilasters. As well, the portico and roof both feature prominent denticulated cornices.
