Connolly Brothers has been a trusted partner of Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead, Massachusetts, for generations. Established in the 1870s, EYC ranks among the oldest yacht clubs in the United States.
Project Scope:
EYC Racquets Facility Project
In 2021, Connolly redesigned the club's south campus, which now features a new 2,400 SF full-service racquets facility incorporating two new clay tennis courts, three paddle tennis courts with warming hut, and a stylish and cozy clubhouse that invites members to connect and relax before or after a match.
Reconstruction of Clubhouse
Previously, Connolly was instrumental in renovating the clubhouse after the facility was substantially damaged by fire. The project included adding a new sailing center under the club's famous Samoset Porch and a multipurpose function room housing the Sailing Office, a new bar, members' locker rooms, and a children's camp area.
The project involved removing and replacing all mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems, and all ground floor structural systems underwent a massive overhaul. Failing wood load-bearing walls and old field stone foundations were replaced with concrete foundations, footings, and a steel structural framing system. With the addition of modern HVAC systems, wiring, and LED lighting, Eastern Yacht Club emerged better than ever in the wake of the fire.
