In 1896, Ivy Club purchased a lot on the south side of Prospect Avenue to construct a new Gothic-style clubhouse. The house on the site, formerly the residence of Professor Henry Burchard Fine, Class of 1880, was moved to the north side of Prospect. In 1901, the newly formed Quadrangle Club took over this structure as its first clubhouse.
Although the architect of the original Fine house is unknown, the structure was built in the late 1880s and was a fine example of the shingle style. Fully sheathed in shingles, it featured a gambrel roof with a variety of gables, porches, and bays.
