University Club of Milwaukee

The club, which was founded by a group of nineteen college alumni, received its charter November 7, 1898.

[1] The club first met in a modest residence at 508 Jackson Street, near what is now a surface parking lot at Clybourn and Jackson Streets.

In 1928, the club moved into its current clubhouse, newly designed by John Russell Pope, at the corner of Wells and Prospect Streets overlooking Lake Michigan.

In 2007, construction of a namesake luxury condominium tower was completed on a site immediately north of the club.

The 36-floor, 446-feet tall University Club Tower is now the tallest residential building and fourth tallest building in Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin.
