Colony Club, Women's social club in Manhattan, United States
The Colony Club occupies a seven-story building with three dining rooms, two ballrooms, twenty-five guest bedrooms, and multiple recreational facilities on Park Avenue.
Florence Jaffray Hurst founded the Colony Club in 1903 as the first women's social club in New York City, providing a space independent from male-dominated institutions.
The McKim, Mead & White architectural firm designed the Colonial Revival structure, incorporating Federal elements and distinct brickwork patterns into the building's facade.
The club maintains selective membership requirements, with new members needing recommendations from current members to join the approximately 2,500-person community.
The original clubhouse interior features designs by Elsie de Wolfe, with the building receiving New York City Landmark status recognition in 1966.
