The club opened on 29 May 1874 with the aim to be available to both men and women. It formed under a committee formed of both sexes, under the presidency of James Stansfeld, Member of Parliament for Halifax. It had initially set the limit for members at 600, with some 350 elected two weeks prior to opening. The club came in for criticism because of its progressive view of women's rights, but also saw supporters join its ranks such as Edward Cortenay MP.
In 1947, the Club moved to its present home at Five East Sixty-sixth Street. This five-story mansion is known as one of the finest examples of French Renaissance architecture in America.
In 1909, the Club moved to a new and custom-built home 110 West 57th Street. Andrew Carnegie placed the necessary funds at the Club’s disposal when the Panic of 1907 made proceeding with construction of the building impossible.
