Conservatory The Conservatory sits just off of the Main Dining Room and often serves as its' extension when hosting a large buffet event. Used largely as a private meeting room, its elegance is obvious and its usefulness is unlimited. Main Dining Room The Main Dining Room is the epitome of elegance. The delicateness of the architecture, the detailed dressing of the dining tables and the exquisite view of Madison Avenue through the unique and recognizable alcove, are just a few of the touches that make The Toledo Club's Main Dining Room the most beautiful place to dine in the city. Quietly gracing the walls are the portraits of The Club's five founding fathers: Among this pioneering group was David Ross Locke, Toledo Blade publisher, famed nationally as Petroleum V. Nasby, whose letters on slavery and temperance were widely read and especially noted by President Lincoln. In 1879, Mr. Locke proposed the formation of a regular club for the group. The name "Draconian" was selected, Mr. Locke was elected the first president, and on May 15, 1882, The Draconian Club was incorporated. Notables in this founding group include: Edward Drummond Libbey: founder of The Toledo Museum of Art; the Owens Bottle Company and the Libbey-Owens Sheet Glass Company (later Owens-Illinois and Libbey-Owens-Ford respectively); John North Willys, President and founder of the Willys-Overland Company; Michael Joseph Owens, who together with Libbey organized the Toledo Glass Company (later the Owens Bottle Company); and Morrison R. Waite, Seventh Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Foyer The Foyer to the Main Dining Room is one of the most picturesque areas in all of the Club. With a ceiling of antique coved glass, stately columns and a view overlooking a majestic staircase, this foyer has been home to countless Club parties, elegant weddings and almost 100 years of memories. West Point Room Steeped with history, the West Point Room echoes story after story of Toledo Club tradition. Originally, the Toledo Club was a men's only club, typical for early 20th century protocol. But in August of 1920, when the 19th Amendment was adopted and women were allowed to vote, they also were allowed into the Club. However, their participation was limited to dining only, and at that, they were only allowed to dine in The West Point Room. This room is home to a mural depicting a scene from West Point Military Academy, hence its name. With capability of holding quaint banquets for up to 40 people, the West Point Room has retained much of the femininity it was originally designed to embody. The Georgian Room Represented with an understated Southern floral motif, the Georgian Room is an ideal setting for a quiet family dinner, intimate gatherings or executive meetings. The Georgian Room accommodates up to 12 people. The Shamrock One of the smallest of The Toledo Club's 13 private dining rooms, The Shamrock offers its guests an intimate venue for family dinners or business meetings. Often times this room is utilized for one-on-one meetings or interviews. Accommodating up to 8 people, the Shamrock is located along a quiet corridor and promises solitude, comfort and class. The Chelsea Room The delicate decor in this private dining room lends itself well to the variety of events that it hosts. For intimate dinners, committee meetings, afternoon bridge clubs, whatever the need, the Chelsea Room acts as a chameleon and can serve any event well. Snuggled at the end of a long corridor, The Chelsea is private and multi-functional.
