In the late 70′s I worked for the caretaker and was sometimes employed to help doing dishes and other chores when the State in Schuylkil met on Washington’s birthday. The members were always very nice. I was sorry when the mansion burned down, it held a lot of artifax that cannot be replaced.

Excellent news! I'm heartened that such a pedigreed institution hasn't fallen to the vicissitudes of the millennium. I dare say the old coves keep a low profile... newspapers and the internets seem remarkably silent on the club's activities of the past few decades. I lack access to the Inquirer and Daily News archives prior to '97, however, so perhaps I'm missing local murmurs. That 1981 reference I mentioned was an entry in the Society for Historical Archaeology's bibliography, for a salvage archaeology report delivered to the club, so I'm guessing the burning-down of the building took place in 1980/81.

The State in Schuylkill (Fishouse) is still very much alive and well, although the old building burned down in the 1980′s when the groundskeeper’s son burnt the place down.

I have polite friends, to be sure, but I think the Fish House Punch was a crowd-pleaser. I certainly enjoyed it, and an empty punchbowl must mean something. Decidedly more popular than the undocumented alternative I brought: Trader Vic’s Temperance Punch #2. The latter was tasty in and of itself, but much remained at the end of the evening. In addition to being polite, mine can be an intemperate crowd.

Extra e’s appended to a few words at Zabboe’s suggestione.
