Lowell based his designs on American colonial architecture and a desire to link the house with the landscape. Most of the rooms open into a hall that surrounds an internal courtyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Piping Rock Club has an 18-hole links-style golf course that was designed by Charles B. Macdonald. Its tennis facilities include several indoor courts, clay courts and grass courts. A separate facility on Long Island Sound provides beach, pool and summer dining facilities for members. In 1913, an article described additional outdoor activities that occurred there: \"polo, riding, racaing, steeplechasing, hunting...squash, pigeon-shooting....\" and that the property featured \"a circular mile race track...two mile and a half steeplechase track around that...\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe club hosted the Piping Rock Horse Show from at least 1912 to 1915.
