The "Millionaires’ Club."

The white marble palace at Fifth avenue and 60th street, New York, the future home of the Metropolitan Club, was opened for private inspection a few days ago. The members on Thursday will take formal possession. The club house has a frontage of 90 feet on Fifth avenue, and extends 150 feet on 60th street, with a wing in the court 80 by 50 feet. The exterior of the club is in the simple and severe style of the Italian renaissance, modelled after the Roman palaces of the sixteenth century. The interior, however, is a harmonious blending of ancient and modern styles of architecture. While the club officials refuse to say anything about the cost of the club house, it is generally understood that the lot cost $480,000, the building $1,000,000, and the furnishings nearly $1,500,000.—[Washington Star.
