Historic Fort Schuyler Club of Utica, New York, USA, offers a warm welcome to CountryClubuk Members: meet, wine and dine, and enjoy this prestigious American club as a reciprocal member

Established in 1883 in the heart of downtown Utica, New York, USA, the historic Fort Schuyler Club stands as the area’s most exclusive private city club. For more than a century it has retained its role as a hub for prominent business and civic leaders within its elegant and expansive historic spaces, from the smart foyer which greets you as you step inside, to the ballroom which hosts banquets for 125 guests.

The Club has considerable historical significance, being a rare, remarkably intact example of late-19th to early 20th-century architecture, originally built as a private residence in 1830 and incorporating over the years design elements from the Aesthetic, Colonial Revival and Arts and Crafts styles. Notably, the Club was among the first in Utica to embrace electric lighting, which it did in 1888.

The Fort Schuyler Club is in every way a classic, traditional club, from its timeless oak furniture and wall panelling to vaulted ceilings and grandfather clocks, paintings of former Presidents lining the walls, and artefacts including autographs from past United States Presidents, all bearing testament to its winning combination of history, style and substance. The names of the expansive series of Club rooms are revealing to all who know and love gentlemen’s clubs.

Take, for example, the Presidents Room, the Oak Room, the Palm Room, the Reading Room and Library; the Cigar Room, Billiards Room and Yacht Squadron; the Ballroom, the Bar Room and the Formal Dining Room. All are bastions of club life and tradition. Many of these are available as inviting and original venues for private gatherings, meetings, even as movie sets. The Green Room was in times past an actor’s waiting room for the Stanley Theatre.

The Fort Schuyler Club is a fascinating and historic American club, listed on the US National Register of Historic Places. It is an elegant, comfortable and time-honoured place to visit and enjoy, whenever you are planning a trip to New York for leisure or business, and seek the environs of a private and prestigious club. As a reciprocal member you will be an esteemed guest treated to a warm and courteous welcome, the highest level of service, and the specialities of an excellent chef and bartender, from famous cocktails to a New York Strip Steak.
