The finished building appears identical to the rendering. In the remodeling process, Stone took advantage of the sloping site and sunk the floor of the living room. This made the ceiling appear taller and gave the room more refined proportions. Stone also glassed in the south- facing porch. The symmetrical front elevation, meanwhile, bears evidence of the many cosmetic changes necessary to make the building Tudor in appearance, including the addition of the faux half- timbers and of dormers to break up the plain roofline. The small entrance portico of the Hibben House vanished.
Stone was restricted in his design by having to maintain the foundations and infrastructure of the Hibben house. As a result, the interior spaces were proportioned more like a private residence than a clubhouse. Nevertheless, Stone succeeded in providing the club with a new appearance and character.
