At the top of Ramsey Hill..............
and sitting just on the edge of the bluff is The University Club. Sort of a country club but without all the rolling hills and golf courses. I've never been inside but perhaps someday I'll be invited to an event there.
Many, many years ago I made my one and only visit to this place - it was for a combination dinner / job interview with Paper Calmenson (the steel manufacturing company). All I remember of that evening was the dark, oak-paneled walls of the dining room and the portraits of famous club members hanging on the walls. Having visited other U-Clubs in different cities around the country (Denver, New York, Chicago) for various reasons over the years, I've come to realize that they're all the same inside.

Great shot! Have to laugh, tho. That WAS going to be my next photo. We must travel in the same neighborhoods.

I went to a Halloween party in that building many years ago. It was dark inside so I didn't get a good idea of what it looked like. That's all.
I worked for this place once. It only took three days before the nervous breakdown that lead to my quitting.
