Also competing with Cottage was the design of the new Cap & Gown, which decided in 1907 that its Italianate- style clubhouse was too small and resolved to build a new clubhouse. (This 1896 building would go on to house both Dial Lodge and Gateway Club.) Cap commissioned Raleigh Gildersleeve, architect of Elm and many other campus buildings, including McCosh Hall, to design a new clubhouse.
