History
In 1963, Stuart Davidson opened Clyde's of Georgetown. Georgetown University student John Laytham, a busboy at Clyde's, became Davidson's partner. In 1970, Davidson and Laytham purchased the Old Ebbitt Grill, which originally opened in 1856. The current Old Ebbitt Grill, however, is located in a different building because the original structure was torn down.
The Clyde's locations in Chevy Chase, Maryland, Georgetown, and Tysons Corner are three of the older, more upscale Clyde's Restaurants, catering to a more affluent clientele. In particular the three landmark establishments: the Tomb's, 1789, and F. Scott's restaurants that Clyde's purchased from the original founder, owner, and operator, Richard J. McCooey, in December 1985.
Davidson was a member of The St. Andrews Society of Washington, DC.
