A three-story red brick clubhouse with white trim, a two-story portico of four Ionic columns, a balustraded porch and a fan-lighted entrance, set on a grassy lawn. The caption names it as the Piedmont Club of Lynchburg, Virginia, a private gentlemen's club organized in the late 19th century.
The portico and dentiled cornice reflect the Colonial Revival taste common to Lynchburg's club and residence architecture of the period. Clubs of this kind gave members a formal setting for dining, reading, and social gatherings.
