Links Club

The Links Club is a gentlemen's club in New York City. It is headquartered at 36 East 62nd Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City.[1][2]

History

The club was established in 1916-1917 by Charles B. Macdonald, in a building designed in the Georgian Revival architectural style by Cross & Cross.[2][3] In the 1960s, it was "a preferred social gathering spot for America's most powerful chief executives."[4] By 2010, it was still a "preserve of the old banking elite", but not all members were WASPs.[1]
