In 1916, Terrace began to think about remodeling this structure or building a new clubhouse, and commissioned Frederick Stone (assisted by Rolf Bauhan, Class of 1914) to do the work. Early plans for this structure called for a spacious, Tudor style structure with an entrance court flanked by half-timbered wings. Stone's choice of the Tudor style was no doubt influenced by Tiger Inn, but also by the residences then being built for the preceptors in the Broadmead development half a mile down Prospect and by other buildings in Princeton.

This proposal, however, was shelved until after World War I, and it was not until 1920 that Terrace set about overhauling the Colonial Revival-style Hibben House.
