The ACC community bonded through warm cups of tea, laughter, and an enchanting Mad Hatter themed experience courtesy of Ella Williams' Posh Teatime Co.
Members were treated to a lavish tea service, delectable food pairings, while learning the art of etiquette (no pinkies up, please! 😂 ). The opulant decor swept us to the realms of Jane Austen or Bridgerton - making the afternoon unforgettable. 🌹

In 1912, The Athletic Club of Columbus was founded by a group of business professionals interested in promoting both social and athletic endeavors.
The Club’s first President was Henry J. Booth. In early 1913, the already prominent Ohio Club merged with the ACC and the first clubhouse was headquartered in The Columbus Saving & Trust Building (now known as The Atlas Building.) Plans were immediately launched for the new home of the ACC on Broad Street.
Our current six-story brick clubhouse, an example of Spanish Renaissance Revival with Italian influence, was designed by Richards, McCarty & Bulford with Frank L. Packard as Advisory Architect. The building was dedicated in 1915, to much fanfare and the facade has seen very little change since its opening. In early October 2011, just in time for the Club's Centennial celebrations in 2012, the Club was officially named to the National Register of Historic Places.
The Club has been, and always will be, an integral part of the Columbus business and political communities. Throughout its history, the ACC has proved a haven for individuals, families, and business professionals.
