The Mill Reef Club was founded in 1947 on the Caribbean island of Antigua. The visionary American architect who championed the 1,500-acre Club was Robertson "Happy" Ward. Ward solicited interest in the Club among a whos who of American industrialists and leading citizens, including Mellons, DuPonts, Cowles, Secretary of State Dean Acheson, and poet Archibald MacLeish. Ward encouraged members who built homes on Club property to adhere to a mid-century vernacular with sleek, contemporary styling. Houses were positioned to catch prevailing winds for cooling purposes, and cisterns and catchments were added to collect and store rainwater.

 

This new, full-color coffee-table book celebrates 75 years of Mill Reef style, culture, and history with vintage photographs and contemporary images of the Club, private homes, golf course, beaches, and people. With 385 color photos and 324 pages, the book is a stunning introduction to one of the worlds most exclusive private clubs.
