St. Botolph Club

The St. Botolph Club is a private social club in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1880 by a group including many artists.

Originally a men's club, the St. Botolph Club has been open to women since 1988[1] in advance of a Supreme Court ruling against sexual and racial discrimination in social clubs that would have mandated it.[2]

The club maintains reciprocal relationships with a large number of social clubs worldwide.
