The New York Times called the building “absolutely unique in the world.” The first three floors of the club were meeting and social spaces, and the main floor included a large auditorium with a balcony. The second floor included a dining room, billiard room, and other social areas, with the third floor housing the library and museum. The fourth and fifth floors were living spaces for members. Members could rent living and working space for days, weeks, or months, according to their needs. If they wished, they could live at the club while carrying out their research.
