Claus Avenue Social Club

[Greenbandman]

Hello everyone,

 

I received an inquiring email from a former resident regarding a social club on Claus Avenue.  It reads:

 

"I was wondering if there was any information available regarding a social club establishment of some sort that was located in Carrick on Claus Avenue in the 40's 50's or 60's? I grew up on this street in the 60's and remember it being abandoned and dilapidated even then before it was eventually torn down I guess in the late 60's. What was this place in it's heyday? What was it's name? Any info would be appreciated."

 

Does anyone remember this club?

John,

 

It was called the Southern Country Club. If you drive down Claus from Brownsville it was on the left side where the newer houses are now built. They were built in '69 '70. I grew up on Sunnyland and have a vague memory of it being open and going to a Santa party at Christmas. Most of my memories are like the one described in your inquire of it being rundown and us as teens being yelled at by neighbors to stay out of it.
