Waverley History | 1930 - 1939
1930
The men’s locker room, card room and bar addition is completed. Most of the clubhouse is also renovated and decorated in Waverley green and white. A long-awaited swimming pool and deck were also added.
Over the years, changes were made to further enhance the building and upgrade the integrity of the structure. Ceiling in the Ballroom and Terrace Room were dropped and acoustical tiles were added. Picture windows replaced the small pained windows allowing for more expansive river views. In recent years, the dropped ceilings were removed, revealing substantial grand cross beams that restored the integrity and beauty of the Whitehouse and Fouiloux vision. Today, Waverley continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to what its members consider a classic design.
