Claiborne, who turned it into a boarding house until 1881. [2] Three years later, in 1884, it was acquired by Julius Sax, who rented it to the Standard Club, a Jewish private members' club, in 1891.

[2] Her husband, Dr. Tom Zerfoss, was a physician with the Vanderbilt Student Health Service. [2] Meanwhile, another one of Dr Savage's daughters, Portia Savage Ward, opened an antiques store, which closed down in 1980. [2]
