Instead, the finished clubhouse featured only one wing, on the right, instead of the two originally conceived. This "missing" left wing accounts for the apparently odd placement of the entrance, far to the left on the facade. The choice of brick, meanwhile, echoed the new Key & Seal building next door.
The second wing was finally added to Court in 1955-56. The original plans from 1927 called for the second wing to mirror the first, much as the two wings on Ivy balance each other. But as built, the new wing was much lower than the original wing and featured a hipped instead of gabled roof. In addition, the entrance was moved from the facade to the side of the new wing. This added more space for the dining room, but marked another departure from the Ivy model.
Court Club ceased operations in 1964. Now part of Stevenson Hall, it serves as a University-operated dining facility.
