Built in 1890 as a private residence for Catherine Haldeman Long, the Hamilton Club was named for James Hamilton, the planner of the city. Inside and out it has the look of a superb Richardsonian Romanesque mansion. Near to the downtown and across the street from St. James’ Episcopal Church ( LA18), it marks the heart of Lancaster's social hierarchy.
