Crescent Athletic Club House, Neoclassical athletic club house in Brooklyn Heights, United States
The Crescent Athletic Club House spans twelve levels with double-height windows, featuring a limestone base and light-colored brick adorned with terra cotta ornaments.
The building, completed in 1906 by architect Frank Freeman, served as a prominent athletic club until 1939 when financial difficulties led to its closure.
The structure contains classical-style murals in its hall and library, reflecting the architectural preferences of early twentieth-century American social institutions.
Located at 129 Pierrepont Street at Clinton Street, the building now functions as the Bosworth Building of Saint Ann's School since 1966.
The building's strategic design creates an optical illusion, making the twelve-story structure appear to be only four or five levels tall.
