Members cited the status of Dayton as one of the leading industrial cities in the country in support of their formation of the club.

On April 15, 1914, the charter members signed the articles of incorporation of the Engineers Club of Dayton.

Through a connection of Kettering, the club was originally permitted to meet at a property owned by Delco Electronics located on the corner of Second and Madison streets in Dayton.

On February 2, 1918, the club's new home, designed by the Dayton firm of Schenck & Williams, was dedicated in front of more than 300 members and guests.

[3] On October 17, 2007, the Engineers Club of Dayton was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Members are currently required to spend a certain amount on dining and social activities offered by the club within any given calendar year.

From the club's website, the types of events for which the club is well suited include wedding receptions, showers, anniversaries, birthdays, tea parties, reunions, seminars, conferences, business meetings, awards dinners, presentations and other gatherings for 15-350 guests.
