The Geelong Club, Social club in Geelong, Australia.

The Geelong Club building stands at 74 Brougham Street with a Classical Boom period facade designed by architect Charles Douglas Figgis in 1888.

Originally established as the Western Club in 1859, the institution underwent multiple reformations until Edward Lascelles led its definitive establishment in 1881.

The club functioned as a central meeting point for wool merchants, pastoralists, and notable figures including Victorian Premier Graham Berry and Governor-General Lord Casey.

The Victorian Heritage Register listed building contains dining halls, billiard rooms, smoking areas, sleeping quarters, and committee spaces for member activities.

Iron gates installed in 1895 specifically addressed the period issue of wandering dogs entering the premises, reflecting nineteenth-century urban challenges.
