English: As seen in February 2023, the clubhouse of Council 2220 of the Knights of Columbus, located on Pierce Avenue at the west end of the village of Hamburg, New York. Completed in 1969 to a design by architect Fred Marzec of the Buffalo firm of Shelgren, Patterson & Marzec, this building, aside from the fact that it is not a church, serves as a fine summary of the firm's aesthetic predilections: its style is a relatively conservative take on Modernism with a notable abundance of Classically-derived embellishments (note how the façade is segmented by stylized stone pilaster strips, as well as the ornamental brickwork at the top, fashioned into a dentil row and false parapet), and its footprint is oriented at a 45-degree angle relative to the street, one of their stylistic signatures at the time. The $250,000 construction process commenced in the summer of 1968 on the site of the converted private residence the council had previously used. (Interestingly, the annex that had earlier been placed on the south side of the original clubhouse, seen in the background at right, was spared the wrecking ball, therefore the main structure seen here is technically an addition to the addition.) Comprising 10,500 square feet devoted principally to use as a ground-floor gymnasium with locker rooms and showers in the basement, the space was designed with versatility in mind: through the use of a mechanical soundproof partition, it can easily be repurposed as a dining room for banquets or as an extension of the meeting space in the adjacent Council Chamber. Offices for the council's Grand Knight and Financial Secretary, as well as storage rooms, occupy the balance of the space. Dedication services, in the form of a Mass held by Auxiliary Bishop Bernard McLaughlin of the Buffalo Catholic diocese, took place in December of the following year.
