Where is the VFD Club located?
Question posed by Gillian Granger
LSUA pg xiii: "Older gentleman of my acquaintance...had been a member of a club...located in an enormous imposing mansion painted green, and decorated with a large imposing insignia on the door."
So, where is this club? It's obviously a VFD Club, because the insignia on the door is the VFD Insignia. So, now that we know that, where is this club located?
Well, monsieur J gives us some information about green mansions.
LSUA pg 42: "J: We stopped inscribing the insignia on the outside of our buildings a very long time ago, and we haven't used green wood as construction material for quite some time..."
So, now we know that the green wood and the insignia hasn't been used in a long time. Do we have a list of people who have a green wood house?
As a matter of fact we do.
LSUA pg 170: "Our special emerald lumber was used... for a few green homes, including the mansions constructed by the Snicket, Quagmire and Baudelaire families."
So, wow, that's interesting. We know that Quagmire home burnt down, and killed Mr. and Mrs Q, plus Quigley, and that was within the Quagmires life time (about ten years ago, in other words). We also know that the Baudelaire mansion was burned down just a few months ago, in Baud-Time.
That leaves the Snicket home. Now, we know that several VFD-ers visit the house, and neither the Baudelaires nor the Quagmires have ever mentioned seeing large numbers of strangers visit their house.
However, none of them have ever mentioned the Snicket house, and thus wouldn't know if large meetings were held there.
So, it's entirely possible that the VFD Club was located at the Snicket mansion, which was probably burned down "quite some time" to a "very long time ago."
So, there's the Official Unofficial FAQ Answer. The VFD Club was located at the Snicket Mansion.
