"24. GENESEE VALLEY CLUB, 421 East Ave., built
in 1840, was formerly the Oilman Perkins Home, one of
the early residential show places on East Avenue. Of
Georgian Colonial design, the building is set well back in
a spacious plot landscaped with a variety of shrubs and
magnolia trees. A recent addition provides a gymnasium
and swimming pool. The club was organized in 1885-"

Good character and reputation who are deemed acceptable on their Individual merits.". It is a exclusive club (exclusive enough that one needs a login and password to even access their website (
