Description: Lakewood, NEW YORK - Chautauqua Lake - Club House- 1908: Lakewood is a village in Chautauqua County, New York, United States. The population was 3,002 at the 2010 census. The village is in the northern part of the town of Busti. Lakewood is located at the south end of Chautauqua Lake. In 1893 the small settlement was incorporated as the Village of Lakewood. Through most of the year, it was a quiet residential area with a permanent population of 600. The arrival of as many as 1500 summer visitors provided boom times for the local residents. The Lakewood Country Club was organized in 1900 by some of the summer time regulars. During the years 1905 and 1906, the members had a clubhouse built on the site of the Sterlingworth / Waldmere Hotel and created a golf course in the southern part of the village beyond the railroad tracks. It was evidence of the increasing sophistication of the small village and its inhabitants and frequent visitors. Within a short time the Chadakoin Rowing Club moved its headquarters from Greenhurst to Lakewood. The country club's dock and boathouse became the center for many races and regattas, and another aspect of leisure time recreation and conviviality was added to the Lakewood social scene. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1908, is in good condition, but there is edge wear and the loss of a small portion of the card's upper left-hand corner. S. H. Knox & Co.
