16 Ice House Street.
Notes from the club's website:
- The project was plagued with problems starting with the Asian financial crisis in 1997. The main contractor suffered financial difficulties and drainage issues beset the site. The project costs overrun significantly and the building was completed more than 2 years later than planned in 2002.

Was this the third or fourth generation?
There's a foundation stone dated 1965, which suggests there was a third generation between the 1922 building on this site and this current 2001 building. Can anyone confirm?

Hi Gordon,
Old maps show the first club building, opened in 1866, was on Shelley Street (http://gwulo.com/node/6116).
They moved to Ice House Street in 1922 (http://gwulo.com/node/34331). I'm interested to know if there have been two or three generations of building on the Ice House Street site.
Regards, David
You are right, I was told by
You are right, I was told by a member that they had been at Ice House st the whole time but it can't be so. I do think they have been continiously at Ice House St since they moved.
Re: Club Lusitano Buildings
The Club Lusitano website at: https://www.clublusitano.com/history gives the generation of buildings on Ice House Street. The "new" Club building that was completed in 1967 (showing the foundation stone from 1965) provided access to both Ice House and Duddell Streets.
The current Club building completed in 2002 is the 4th generation building.
