The Union Club, founded in 1836, is one of New York City’s oldest private social clubs, attracting the city’s most prominent businessmen, politicians, and cultural figures. The print captures the elegant façade of the Club’s then-new building, reflecting the refined Greek Revival and Italianate architectural tastes of the period. Such images offered readers across the country a glimpse into New York’s elite social circles and its grand civic architecture during the mid-19th century.
