United States historic place
The John F. Slater House, also known as the Elks Club,[2] is a historic building in Norwich, Connecticut.
It was built in brick for John Fox Slater around either 1827[2] or 1843.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as part of the Downtown Norwich Historic District as "the most elaborate Greek Revival building in the downtown",[3] and it is fronted by a monumental Corinthian portico.[4] The design of the house has been attributed to John Bishop, a builder from New London who was responsible for the Huntington Street Baptist Church.[3] The house was later owned by the local lodge of Elks, who used the building as their clubhouse. In 1914-15 they built a large but complementary rear addition, designed by architects Cudworth & Woodworth and contractors Doyle & Murphy,[5] the same team that would build the Willimantic Elks Club ten years later.
The building was vacant as of January 2014.[6]
