The Alley at the Naval Academy Club
When the Naval Academy Business Services Division – Dahlgren Facilities selected RPH to assist with renovations to the lower level of the Naval Academy Club, we knew we had tough shoes to fill. The Alley which is located in the lower level of the Naval Academy Club once served as a bowling alley. It is now home to a conference / dining facility that showcases an invaluable collection of naval portraits and military artifacts. In keeping with the prestigious image of the USNA, the comprehensive demolition transformed the space to an elegant pub. Highly detailed millwork including ornate wood columns enclosures, raised wood panels, grand entry stairs and a richly detailed bar area were just a few of the details that were put in place over existing concrete columns and other outdated building surfaces. What was once a bowling alley after early 20th century building completion, and after many years of neglect, The Alley has been return to its early prestige and grandeur.
