This is the Fairchild's Billiard Room. We find it light and airy, with the many windows and the doorway leading onto a masonry porch located on the rear of the building. A sixth fireplace gives certainty that warmth was needed during the using of this room prior to central heating. The Silver Maple wood trim makes the room much brighter and carries with it the atmosphere needed in a room reflecting the outdoors. The fine floor covering and paintings add to the luster. A photo, on the fireplace mantle, of Chauncey Herrick, District Deputy Grand Master of the Otsego-Schoharie District during Grand Master Smith’s Term, and a Past Grand Commander of Spanish–American War Veterans, was one of the I.R.S. tools who placed Al Capone behind bars!

The room was used by the fraternity as a card room and during the winter months is used as a "downstairs meeting room" for several organizations that are tenants, so that we conserve energy and do not heat the upper floors. The DAR used it for a number of years. The DAR chapter outgrew the room and the lodge wanted a place to watch videos and socialize.
