Algonquin Club

The Algonquin Club (2008) at 217 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston

The Algonquin Club of Boston, presently known as The 'Quin House,[1] is a private social club in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1886. Originally a business-themed gentlemen's club, it is now open to men and women of all races, religions, and nationalities.

History

The Algonquin Club of Boston was founded by a group, including General Charles Taylor.[2][3] 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"[4] and more recently the "most grandiose" of Boston's clubs.[5]

. In October 2020, the club closed for renovations, including a new fitness facility and a roof deck,[6] and re-opened as the 'Quin House in July 2021.[7] It remained a private club.[8] The 'Quin House maintains reciprocal relationships with more than 150 social clubs worldwide.
