Detroit— The Detroit Yacht Club has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. The club on Belle Isle is the 12th oldest in the nation.
"The Detroit Yacht Club has a long and fascinating history in the city of Detroit," said State Historic Preservation Officer Brian Conway in a press release today. "We are pleased that the club sought national recognition and that the members are such excellent stewards of this important site."
The clubhouse was built between 1921 and 1923 near Belle Isle and is "notable as an outstanding example both of 'Mediterranean' architecture in Detroit and club architecture anywhere," according to the press release. The club is listed as the 12th oldest yacht club in the nation, founded in 1868.
