from the website of The Winter Club (July 25, 2013) " Frederick C. Aldrich is credited with first suggesting, during the fall of 1900, the formation of “a club for winter sports to be located somewhere near the center of the village.” To test the popularity of Mr. Aldrich’s suggestion, the land on which the Winter Club now stands was leased, with the option to buy, for the winter of 1901-02. An outdoor skating rink was prepared along with a toboggan slide, which crossed over Sheridan Road. The Winter Club rink quickly became the center of all social activities that first winter, as skating, curling and tobogganing entertained young and old. The season concluded on February 15, 1902, with the first Winter Carnival. It is reported that “immediately after the carnival the original founders of the club got together to plan for a permanent organization."
”The Winter Club building was completed in the fall of 1903 and looked very similar to the clubhouse as it stands today"Photograph Details
