National Arts Club

The National Arts Club is a private club in Manhattan, New York City. It is located at 14 and 15 Gramercy Park South, in the Gothic Revival brownstone building which was formerly the home of New York governor Samuel Tilden (1814-1886). It is one of the few private clubs founded in the late 19th century that allowed women to become full members from the early days of its founding.

The present building at 14 & 15 Gramercy Park South is the club's second home. It was originally located at West 34 Street, where it occupied a brownstone. However, seeing that businesses was moving up from downtown, the club decided to relocate. The present building was found by club treasurer Spencer Trask, who was said to be so anxious to secure the property that he made the downpayment using his own money.
