Minnetonka Beach, Minnesota: Lafayette Club Completes $9 Million Facade Restoration of Century-Old Clubhouse
The Lafayette Club, on Crystal Bay of Lake Minnetonka, has completed a $9 million exterior restoration of its century-old clubhouse, returning the Spanish Mission-style historic building to its original appearance. According to a November 11 report in Lake Minnetonka Magazine, the club worked with contractor Knutson on the two-year project, whose centerpiece was a full roof replacement using premium composite shingles that improve durability while preserving the historic look. The work also included exterior painting, window replacement and bell tower repairs.
The club held a ribbon-cutting on August 12 to mark completion and presented the project results to members at its annual meeting. The Lafayette Club's clubhouse is a century old and a landmark on Lake Minnetonka. The club said the restoration preserves the building's original character so it can remain a lakeside fixture for generations to come, and it is also seeking tax-exempt donations in support of preservation.
