The Algonquin Club
The Algonquin Club of Boston is a private social club in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1886 by a group including General Charles Taylor. Originally a men's business club, it is now open to men and women of all races, faiths, and nationalities.
Its clubhouse on Commonwealth Avenue was designed by McKim, Mead & White and completed in 1888, and was soon called "the finest and most perfectly appointed club-house in America" and more recently the "most grandiose" of Boston's clubs. It remains the only Boston club with a purpose-built clubhouse.
The Algonquin Club maintains reciprocal relationships with more than 150 social clubs worldwide.
Notes
On Sept 1st, 2020, I placed a phone call to the Algonquin's phone number 617-266-xxxx. The receptionist stated "The Algonquin Club" is permanently closed, with no reason given. The Algonquin is being "reimagined" and will reopen some time in 2021 as "The Quin".
