History
In 1889, the first Cornell Club was formed by Cornell University graduates. The current 14-story clubhouse located in midtown Manhattan at 6 East 44th Street was formerly the offices of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company. The building was a gift to the University and was renovated by the firm of Gensler & Associates of San Francisco, CA. The clubhouse opened its doors on December 1, 1989.
The clubhouse was established on Clubhouse Row, where many of New York City's other clubs are located, such as the Harvard Club of New York at 27 W 44th, Penn Club of New York at 30 W 44th, and New York Yacht Club at 37 W 44th all on the same block, and a block away from the Yale Club of New York City on E 44th (at Vanderbilt) and Princeton Club of New York at 15 W 43rd (and Fifth Avenue) for inter-club events. Despite being in New York City, Columbia University shares a clubhouse with the Penn Club.
