Cleveland, OH, 44114 US / OH
In the autumn of 1872, when Cleveland had only about 100,000 residents and an industrial economy was just beginning to blossom, some civic-minded citizens got together to form the Union Club. Consistent with their lofty hopes for a more vibrant and prosperous city, the founders had high ambitions for their new club, expecting it to be more than a place of relaxation and entertainment. An article from the September 24, 1872, edition of the Cleveland Leader captures their vision: “The Union Club is to be by no means a mere hall of conviviality. It will be a place where cultured gentlemen will meet to read and discuss the topics of the day... Properly conducted, such a club becomes the social and intellectual force of a community, the stimulant of a broader culture, and worthier growth.”
