Harbour House, Home of the Potomac Maritime Society
Commissioned in 1892 by James Wellington Thorndike, a prominent shipping merchant who made his fortune establishing trade routes between Baltimore and Asia. Having immigrated from Bristol, England in his youth, Thorndike sought to create a sanctuary that merged American innovation with European maritime tradition.
The original structure was designed by renowned architect Stanford White, who drew inspiration from both Newport's Gilded Age mansions and traditional English maritime clubs. The distinctive three-story building, with its commanding views of the Chesapeake, featured a signature octagonal watchtower that still serves as a landmark for vessels today.
During the Prohibition era (1920-1933), Harbour House gained notoriety as a gathering place for Washington's elite, who would arrive by boat for "afternoon tea" - though rumors persisted about hidden wine cellars and secret passages used for rum-running. The club's guest books from this period, still preserved in the library, bear signatures of several senators and at least two Supreme Court justices.
The property survived a devastating fire in 1943, which destroyed the east wing but spared the historic main hall with its hand-carved mahogany bar and original brass telescopes. The reconstruction effort, led by Thorndike's grandson William, added the now-famous verandas and modernized the facilities while maintaining the building's historic character. In 1962, Harbour House made history by becoming one of the first yacht clubs in the region to admit women as full members. This progressive decision was influenced by Katherine "Kay" Thorndike, William's daughter, who had become an accomplished sailor in her own right.
Notable moments in Harbour House's history include:
Hosting several planning meetings for the D-Day invasion during WWII, when the club served as an unofficial gathering point for Allied naval officers.
The visit of Sir Thomas Lipton in 1925 during his America's Cup campaign.
Serving as the emergency coordination center during the historic Chesapeake flooding of 1933.
The establishment of one of the first youth sailing programs in the region in 1958.
Today, Harbour House stands as a testament to the region's maritime heritage, with many original elements preserved, including:
The original lighthouse-inspired watchtower.
The Thorndike family's private collection of maritime maps and navigational instruments.
The "Captain's Room" with its 19th-century ship models and original furnishings.

Retro Asian town somewhere. Maybe 60s? 70s? 80s?
It seems that you can hear the noise in the morning and the afternoon

Family owned since 1984, Sal's Rollerland & Arcade offers the best entertainment this side of Newcrest. It might be a little rough around the edges, but all venues of bygone's past tend to be. Bars and dancing for the parents, a roller rink for your rowdy teens and plenty of cabinets for the kiddos. Join us for adult night on Fridays after 10 PM for a discount on beer and skate!
We finally have an in-game disco ball! I won't lie, seeing the party kit single-handedly broke my hiatus to finish this lot. Already started another one... we'll see.

That sure is a fixer upper! An old home fallen on hard times, but with such beautiful bones. The layout is stunning along with the cutest little sun room in the back. I can't take credit for the abandoned house idea, though I honestly don't know who did it first since I've seen it a few times. It could be @florwal maybe?
