The Yorick Club was a private social club in Lowell, Massachusetts, which twenty prominent young Lowell men founded in February 1882.〔"History of Lowell and its people, Volume 1", p.383, By Frederick William Coburn〕 The club went bankrupt in 1979 and was dissolved; its former clubhouse is now Cobblestones Bar & Restaurant.〔Lylah M. Alphonse, "Dining Out in Lowell," ''Boston Globe'' (September 28, 2003)〕 ==Inception & Club History== The first meeting to organize "a young men's social club" was held at the home of Joseph A. Nesmith on November 11, 1882. The next few meetings were held between Nesmith's home and the home of George R. Richardson until the group rented a room at the Wyman's Exchange building.〔 At that time, the first elected officials Included: * Percy Parker, President * Frederick W. Stickney Architect, Secretary * Frederick A. Chase Treasurer * George R. Richardson Director * Walter M. Lancaster Director Other members included, Joseph & James Nesmith, George S.

The club then took over a suite of rooms in the Mansur Building. In June 1900, a fire forced the club to relocate to the not-yet-named Yorick Building.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yorick Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
