THE PROSPERITY OF THE EARLY TWENTIES was reflected in the purchase of the brickyard property from John Cadwalader for $12,000. The new acquisition included a farm and buildings, formerly owned and occupied by George W. Goodwin, which covered eighty acres of land. This property along the York River had been purchased by Mr. Cadwalader from the York Harbor Brick Company a year earlier.

In 1922, the Board of Governors was authorized to begin laying out and developing the brickyard property. They were empowered to acquire the Junkins property by purchase or rental, if the terms were favorable. They were encouraged to dispose of the buildings and begin the expansion of the golf course.

In 1925, it was determined that the amount of capital stock was insufficient to satisfy the purposes for which the corporation was organized. It was voted to increase the capital stock of the corporation from fifty shares of $500 each to 150 shares at the par value of $500. This would increase the value of the stock issued from $25,000 to $75,000. Current stockholders were given the first opportunity to subscribe when the additional shares were offered for sale.

The York Country Club, organized in 1900, under the management of gentlemen who make their summer homes at York Harbor, provides unusually fine golfing opportunities. In the construction of its eighteen-hole and nine-hole courses over a territory of two hundred acres famous for its beauty of outlook, the genius of Donald Ross has expressed itself in a versatile and inviting layout. A competent professional is in charge who also gives instruction and supplies all golfing accessories. The twelve tennis courts are first class in every particular. The Club House, located on an eminence overlooking the York River near Sewalls Bridge, in its service and in all its appointments is of high standard. It is one of the social centres of the summer colony.
