History
The club first met in a modest residence at 508 Jackson Street, near what is now a surface parking lot at Clybourn and Jackson Streets. In 1928, the club moved into its current clubhouse, newly designed by John Russell Pope, at the corner of Wells and Prospect Streets overlooking Lake Michigan.
Founded to provide a place for members and their guests to draw upon the sustaining values of a common educational experience, the Club seeks simply to provide "an atmosphere where excellence thrives."
