At 71st St. an exclusive private club claimed a chunk of lakefront land. This was once South Shore Country Club. It had a private beach, a golf course, and a spectacular Mediterranean style clubhouse from 1916 by aristocratic architect Benjamin Marshall. The neighborhood became majority African American in the 1960s. But the club refused to admit blacks as members. It went out of business in 1974, that same year, the Chicago Park District bought the club, and welcomed the neighbors with open arms.
