1. The Union Club of Cleveland. One of the oldest social organizations in Cleveland, it was incorporated on 25 Sept. 1872. A group of 81 men who had originally belonged to the Cleveland Club formed the new group for the purpose of having a place "for reading, for discussing the topics of the day, for entertaining and for promoting physical training and education." In 1882, ladies were given their own dining room and lounge within the club, but were not permitted to become members. A clubhouse, designed by Cleveland architect Chas. F. Schweinfurth, was dedicated on 6 Dec. 1905 and remains the club's home. (Submitted on September 20, 2021, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
