The story with the clubhouse?
The Yale Club of Boston had a building of its own at No. 10 Derne Street in the 1920s and early 1930s, which we sold in the depths of the Depression. It's still standing and, at least on the outside, remains much as it was in 1934 - in fact, the third floor still has a familiar YC design in its ironwork.
The name of this organization? It seems like there's more than one.
Legally, it's “The Yale Club of Boston,” as it has been since the 1920s, but we frequently do business under the abbreviated name YaleBoston. The club was founded as the Yale Alumni Association of Boston and its Vicinity in 1866, and forms of that name have been used from time to time as well.
Special about the Yale Club of Boston?
Among other things: we represent a local Yale population of ten thousand, the second-oldest Yale alumni organization in the world, and the city in which Elihu Yale himself was born!
