1 review of Woman's Athletic Club

First athletic club for women in America

The historic Women's Athletic Club of Chicago is a private club that was founded in 1898 and was the very first athletic club for women in America. It was established as Landmark status in 1991 for its history and brilliant architecture by Philip B. Maher. I was lucky enough to visit it.

If you have the opportunity to visit, PLEASE I urge you to take it. They host receptions, weddings, meetings and events all the time. From the first step of walking into this amazing building, I felt like I was going through time. It felt so elegant and regal! I almost didn't want to touch anything. The elevator had its own operator and it was necessary since it seemed like it was right out of the 1920's! The decor was well kept, but felt like it belonged in the 1930's with men in top hats and women in fur.


It was such a treat to see the inside of this majestic building. Many of Chicago's prestigious belong to this upstanding place. It's historic background and current status save it as a Chicago treasure.

To see the entrance, it looks almost as if it is on Ontario.
