Racquet and Tennis Club, Private sports club on Park Avenue, Manhattan, United States
The Racquet and Tennis Club occupies a five-story Renaissance Revival building with stone and brick exterior at 370 Park Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Streets.
The club originated in 1876 on West 26th Street and relocated to its current location in 1918 after merging with other sports organizations.
The McKim, Mead, and White architectural firm created this building as part of the grand private club developments that characterized New York in the 1910s.
The facility maintains four international squash courts, one North American doubles squash court, one racquets court, and two tennis courts for member use.
The Laws of Backgammon were established at this club in 1931 under Wheaton Vaughan's guidance, making it a reference point for this board game.
