Nevele Lobby in Ellenville, New York

by John Margolies

Get transported back to the heydays of Catskills resorts' opulence with this original photograph of the grand lobby of the legendary Nevele Country Club of Ellenville, New York by architectural historian John Margolies. Skillfully captured by Margolies, this image showcases the resort’s distinctive Mid-Century Modern design style—famous for its large, patterned carpet leading up to a kidney-shaped teal-tiled fountain.

Surrounded on all sides by rich wood paneling, mustard-yellow curved sectional chairs, and atomic-style light fixtures, the entire picture is bathed in light coming from a large circular skylight that houses a dramatic brass starburst chandelier. This nostalgic photograph of the glorious past of American leisure and the Borscht Belt is a perfect addition to your collection of fine art prints.
