History of the Regency Whist Club
The property that would become 15 East 67th Street was, until July 1866, part of New York City Common Land and was probably farmland.

In 1866, it was deeded to one Aaron Kamak, a cutlery dealer from Chatham Street in Lower Manhattan. Over the next thirty-three years, the property had many owners.

In 1903, Cortlandt Field Bishop and his wife Amy Bend Bishop purchased the land and the 1879 row house that occupied it for $235,000.

Noted architect Ernest Flagg who also designed, among other things, the famous Singer Building
in New York City and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., designed the current townhouse, built in 1904.

After the death of Cortlandt in 1936, the house was sold to Anna Erickson, widow of the chairman of McCann-Erickson. Three months later Mrs. Erickson sold it to the 15-67 Corporation, which represented a group headed by Mrs. T. Charles Farrelly, who had been a hostess at the Crockford Club. The new Regency Club opened its doors to Members for the first time in October 1936.

On 22 October 1954 the 15-67 Corporation sold the property to the Regency Club, Inc.

In 1964 the Regency Club and The Whist Club, founded in 1894, were consolidated into the Regency Whist Club.

Bridging the Testaments
Format: Hardcover
Very scholarly and detailed if you want to know about the in depth history during this time period. Author is very knowledgeable & has done great research to present. He is very thorough! A lot of info. Helps you to truly comprehend all the various dynasties & kings & how they affected the Jews. Great resource book! I study Jewish history and am giving a sermon on the silent years. This helped me to understand this time period and how the various groups such as Sadducee's, Pharisees, Zealots, Hasidic, Essenes, publicans, etc began. That’s what I was searching for… when & how did these groups develop and splinter off? This book has answered these questions for me. Author writes so well & is organized in time periods! Great book!!

What a Reading Experience!
Format: Kindle
If your goal is to better grasp reading the New Testament, this book is the one for you! For me, it changed everything in my understanding of these Jewish groups that suddenly "appear" in Matthew when you turn the page from Malachi. Who were the Saducees? The Pharisees? Where did they come from? The Davidic loyalists? The Herodians? The Essenes? It was brilliantly documented with great charts tying history to specific scripture. It also sheds meaningful light also on the ongoing political intrigue of the middle east. Loved this book and highly recommend it.

Interesting coverage.
Format: Hardcover
Interesting recount of the history of Israel itself, and it’s relation to its neighbors during the period between the years covered by the Old and New Testaments.

Will Dispell The Idea That There Are 400 Silent Years.
Format: Hardcover
This was a great read, covering the period from 500 BC to the 1st century CE. It's solidly rooted in the Bible and presents a clear, easy-to-follow narrative of a historically complex era. Thanks to this book, I now see the Gospels as a natural continuation of that time. The insights into the power struggles among various sects are particularly compelling, as is the exploration of how compromises were made in the pursuit of influence. A truly worthwhile read!
