Racquet Club of Philadelphia
Racquet Club of Philadelphia, Private social and athletic club in Center City, Philadelphia, United States
The red-brick Georgian clubhouse features six international squash courts, one squash doubles court, one court tennis court, and one racquets court.
The Racquet Club of Philadelphia, established in 1889, moved to its current location in 1907 when architect Horace Trumbauer designed the reinforced concrete structure.
Members maintain traditions of athletic competition and social gathering while following strict dress codes that exclude casual attire in common areas.
The establishment provides overnight accommodations in 13 guest rooms, operates a restaurant serving lunch daily, and maintains complete fitness facilities.
The invention of squash doubles originated at this location when Frederick C. Tompkins adapted an oversized space that exceeded standard court dimensions.
