Yale Elihu Club

The historic Elihu Club at Yale University restored with custom designed carpets and cabinetry

The Elihu Club is the fourth oldest senior society at New Haven’s Yale University. Its historic Federal-style building dates to the early 1800s. Years of deferred maintenance resulted in serious deterioration, and the building was no longer in compliance with code requirements. Issues included an obsolete kitchen, a dangerous electrical system, and lack of a fire alarm system. Many of the antique furnishings were worn and tattered.

Our program restored the elegance of this magnificent building and retained and enhanced the profound sense of history that exists in the club. Renovations included updating the infrastructure, installing a new commercial kitchen and restoring the interior, including many of the furnishings.
