Greble Junior and Alexandru Marghiloman, who together with 143 other members (including Barbu Catargiu, C. Argetoianu, Prince Barbu Ştirbey, Basarab Brâncoveanu, etc.) founded Country Club Băneasa. They laid the foundations of the largest country club in Romania at that time.
The central villa was built by the appreciated architect Ion Mincu. Along with the swimming pool, tennis, golf and polo fields, the place attracted the social elite from all over Europe at that time. Then, the Club hosted the Diplomat Restaurant where the people of Bucharest served lunch and admired the view of Herăstrău Park. The park was also arranged by the founding members of the club.
