Facilities and history[edit]

The Camden Yacht Club is located south of downtown Camden, on the southern bank of the Megunticook River, at its mouth where it empties into outer Camden Harbor. It clubhouse is located near the shore, with a lawn area on two outer sides with water views, and parking areas between the building and Bay View Street. The clubhouse is a large Shingle style building, its tall hip roof overhanging the structure on three sides, creating porches on those sides. There is a port-cochere on the northwest side with Oriental trim features. The building was designed by John Calvin Stevens, the Portland architect known as a major proponent of the Shingle style, and was completed in 1912.^[2]

The club was founded in 1906 by George B. Phelps, Cyrus H. K. Curtis, and Chauncey Borland, among others. The clubhouse was built by Curtis, for the then-large sum of $60,000, and rented it to the club for a nominal fee. In 1926 he gave the property to the town, stipulating its continued use as a yacht club facility as part of the gift.^[2]
