The Kew Gardens Country Club
A Prediction from 1929:
"Who can visualize the future? Perhaps some day not far distant the present clubhouse will give way to an artistic, twelve or fifteen story structure with palatial quarters for the Club on its upper floors, - a swimming pool, a gymnasium, comfortable living quarters, a dining room on the roof overlooking the scenes of its half a century of operation and commanding vistas of the ocean on the south and the increasingly marvelous skyline of New York on the north."
Within five years, the Great Depression would bankrupt the Kew Gardens Country Club. It closed in 1934 and was torn down soon after.
