Its large Romanesque clubhouse, dating to 1891, is located in Baltimore’s historic Mount Vernon neighborhood, where it has always had its home.

Though membership is by invitation only, the Club says it wants a diverse membership of outstanding individuals regardless of race, gender, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation. In 1861, the club supported the secession of the Confederate States of America. The club was closed by Union troops during the American Civil War and General Lew Wallace outraged local residents by turning the club building into a shelter for homeless former slaves. The club re-opened after the war. The club opposed Prohibition and flouted the law through the use of private lockers. After a 1995 fire nearly destroyed its building, the club restored its architectural and aesthetic elements. In 2019, a major renovation added squash facilities, improved the exercise area, added a bistro-style restaurant, and made other system upgrades. In 1988, the club began accepting Jews as members.
