What does the Canfield Casino ornament show?

The Canfield Casino in Congress Park, Saratoga Springs, New York: the nineteenth-century brick clubhouse with tall arched windows, seen from the park.

Is the Canfield Casino still a casino?

No. It opened in 1870 as the Saratoga Club House and became famous under Richard Canfield, who bought it in 1894. Gambling ended in Saratoga Springs in 1907, the city bought the building in 1911, and it is now used for exhibits and events.

What is the ornament made of, and how is it packaged?

A three-inch round of faceted crystal glass with a red ribbon. The line-drawn art is printed so the open areas let the crystal show through. It comes in a white or gold gift box, is made to order in the USA and ships free in the U.S.

Is this ornament an official Saratoga Springs souvenir?

No. It is original art by Merlin Classics, an independent shop, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any town office, museum or organization.

The Canfield Casino in Congress Park, Saratoga's grand old clubhouse on crystal.

Walk into Congress Park past the springs and the ducks and there it stands, red brick and tall windows, the most storied building in Saratoga Springs. This ornament draws the Casino as generations have seen it from the park lawn.

For Saratoga people it is the place where the weddings, the galas and the winter balls happen, so nearly everyone has a night attached to it. It is a three-inch round of faceted crystal glass on a red ribbon, printed so the open areas of the drawing let the light through, in your choice of a white or gold gift box. Give this to the couple married there, the August regular with a box at the track, or the friend who moved away and still calls it home.

John Morrissey, prizefighter turned congressman, opened it in 1870 as the Saratoga Club House. Richard Canfield bought it in 1894 for $250,000 and spent far more, adding the dining room wing in 1902 and 1903 and making it one of the most elegant gaming rooms in the country. Reformers ended gambling in the city in 1907, and Saratoga Springs bought the building and grounds in 1911.

It has belonged to the public ever since. The high rollers are gone, but the rooms are still used for the purpose they were built for, which is to give a party.
