National Arts Club

The National Arts Club is a private club in Manhattan, New York City. It is located at 14 and 15 Gramercy Park South, in the Gothic Revival brownstone building which was formerly the home of New York governor Samuel Tilden (1814-1886). It is one of the few private clubs founded in the late 19th century that allowed women to become full members from the early days of its founding.

The present building at 14 & 15 Gramercy Park South is the club's second home. It was originally located at West 34 Street, where it occupied a brownstone. However, seeing that businesses was moving up from downtown, the club decided to relocate. The present building was found by club treasurer Spencer Trask, who was said to be so anxious to secure the property that he made the downpayment using his own money.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
