Client: Royal Saint-Lawrence Yacht Club
Architect: E. Maxwell

Description: In 1897, Edward designed the Royal Saint-Lawrence Club. The elevations show a shingle style building with Tudor street façade perforated with small paned windows and an octagonal tower which contains the staircase, located to the right of the entrance. The distinctive feature of the clubhouse is the semicircular two-level verandah that was placed at one extreme of the building, crowned by a similar roof as the tower. The marina façade repeated the design of the street side without the Tudor detailing. The central portion of the Yacht club extended outward to form a portico supported at the corners with rough columns in between. The shingle style is appropriated from its use on a shore line site and recreational buildings. On the ground floor, the old plans show an L-shaped layout with a coffee room, dining room, private dining room, and lounge guests room at the front wing facing the water and the services rooms at the rear.
