The Oglethorpe Club is a private gentlemen's club in Savannah, Georgia founded in 1870, making it the 7th oldest club in the Southern United States after The Cape Fear Club, Wilmington, North Carolina, and before The Athelstan Club of Mobile, Alabama.[1][2]
History
[edit]The club was founded in 1870, after The Civil War. In 1912, the members purchased the home of General Henry R. Jackson from the Trustees of his estate. The house was built in 1853 for Edmund Molyneux, British Consul in Savannah by John S. Norris, and served as his residence and as the Consulate until Molyneux’s return to England in 1863.[3][4][5]
