In 1889, the Country Club of Buffalo was created and a clubhouse (designed by E.B. Green) immediately constructed. It was a shingle-style structure sited on land owned by Bronson Rumsey. Although the CCB was established for broad social and recreational purposes, it was first used for polo. The Buffalo Polo Club, founded in 1877 by Rumseys, Carys, and Scatcherds, et al, was absorbed into the CCB at its inception. Other prominent founders of the CCB included Samuel Spaulding and Harry Hamlin.
