The Knickerbocker Club

Perfection at its best, always a pleasure .

The Knickerbocker has for more years than I am able to count been my home form home. Excellent in all regards.

I had opportunity to participate in one of the board dinners. It is a premium facility and an ancient city landmark. We had dinner in their library. Staff were courteous and helpful. I was privileged to be at this ancient NEw York City landmark. Background: The Knickerbocker Club (known informally as The Knick), is a gentlemen's club in New York City founded in 1871. The Knick's current clubhouse, a Neo-Georgian structure at 2 East 62nd Street, was commissioned in 1913 and completed in 1915, on the site of the mansion of Josephine Schmid, a wealthy widow. It was designed by William Adams Delano and Chester Holmes Aldrich, and has been designated a city landmark. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), President of the United States is one of the notable members — joined in 1903 upon his graduation from Harvard University. Resigned from the club in 1936 amid the furor surrounding his re-election campaign attacks on the "malefactors of great wealth." (Wikipedia)
