A fine tombstone stands over the grave of John Duggan, late private in the 17th Lancers and survivor of the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava and the battles of Alma and Sevastopol (and Inkerman, which is doubtful, Duggan being in hospital at the time of the battle) during the Crimean campaign. Duggan was a Drogheda man who had a somewhat chequered military record: on his discharge from the Army he was employed as Sexton in St. Peter’s where he served from **c1773 until his death in 1881.

I've had a bit of a problem with this one ... everytime I try and research the club .... I get all these strip clubs !! 

The Huntoons shared space with five of the forty very active real estate companies of the booming town plus dozens of doctors, dentists and lawyers, and the Cascade Gentleman's Club on the west side of the top floor, founded by boomer James F. Wardner and managed by Captain Grahame, survivor of the Charge of the Light Brigade of Balaklava.

The Cascade Gentleman's Club on the west side of the top floor was managed by Captain Grahame, survivor of the Charge of the Light Brigade of Balaklava, and Wardner could keep his finger on the pulse of the young town by stopping by for coffee or brandy in the afternoons.

Mason Block, 1200-1206 Harris Avenue

The shop on 12th Street originally housed the office of leading Fairhaven investment bankers Roland G. Gamwell and Charles F. Warner. The upper stories were originally offices but the rooms in later years were devoted to housekeeping. During the palmy days of old Fairhaven, a suite of rooms on the third floor served as headquarters for the Cascade Club, an exclusive men's social organization which was host to distinguished visitors to the area, including well-traveled lecturer Mark Twain.
