Dine Around the World[]
Henry Mystic built his club to resemble five countries that he admired—China, India, Russia, Morocco and Egypt. As a member of the renowned Society of Explorers and Adventurers, Lord Mystic traveled the world in search of uncharted lands and extraordinary artifacts. He built Explorer's Club Restaurant to welcome fellow club members and to pay tribute to some of the society’s favorite places.
While the exterior and main hall of the club are faithful to the predominant Victorian architecture of the time—with eclectic touches inspired by North Africa and Indonesia—the 5 incredible dining rooms contain the materials and treasures that Lord Mystic brought back from exotic regions that he explored.
The Chinese Room features rich black, red and gold colors offset by an exquisite jade sculpture of an elegant dancer from the Tang dynasty. Not to be outdone, the striking Indian Room is burnished with lavish dark wood paneling, intricate carvings and ornate crystal chandeliers.
The skillfully crafted wall molding and fine ceramic tiles decorating the stove bring warmth to the cozy Russian Room. Most dramatically, the light and airy Moroccan Room is contrasted with the adjoining dark and tomb-like Egyptian Room—which is the resting place to a gold-laden sarcophagus.
Trivia[]
- Props from the Adventurers Club's Mask Room can be found in the restaurant. Henry placed them here as he noticed the movement of their eyes when on display in the house and he found it unnerving.
