Site The American Club is located in the former company town Kohler, Wisconsin, which was founded by Walter J. Kohler, the son of Kohler Co. founder John Michael Kohler. Initially built around the manufacturing plant to meet the needs of the growing workforce it became an independently functioning village and was incorporated as such in 1912 as the Village of Kohler. The famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted was involved into the planning of the village layout. Architecture In 1924, or even a couple years prior, the planning was commissioned to architect Richard Philipp of Brust & Philipp in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He used the Tudor Revival-style as an inspiration. History The American Club hotel was built in 1918 to house the Kohler Company's immigrant workers. Nearby Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run golf courses are affiliated with The American Club. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
