Jekyll Island Club, Historic resort district in Glynn County, US
The Jekyll Island Club Resort features Victorian architecture with a prominent turret, leaded art glass windows, and ornate woodwork throughout the buildings.
Founded in 1886 as a private recreational club, the property was purchased for $125,000 and became a winter retreat for wealthy American families.
The resort housed meetings of influential figures like the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Morgans, leading to the creation of the Federal Reserve System.
Located on a barrier island off Georgia's coast, the resort provides access to Driftwood Beach, Great Dunes Park, and the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.
The resort contains 34 historic structures across 240 acres, making it one of the largest restoration projects in the southeastern United States.
