Union League of Philadelphia
The Union League of Philadelphia is a private club founded in 1862 by the Old Philadelphians as a patriotic society to support the policies of Abraham Lincoln. As of 2022, the club has over 4,000 members. Its main building was built in 1865 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.Union League clubs, which are legally separate but share similar histories and maintain reciprocal links with one another, are also located in Manhattan, Chicago, Brooklyn, and New Haven, Connecticut.
Since its founding, it has supported the U.S. Armed Forces in all conflicts. Initially, the club was exclusive to white men, but it started accepting Black members in 1972 and women in the 1980s. The club's Center City, Philadelphia building, a Second Empire-style structure, was completed in 1865 and later expanded in 1910 and 1911. Over the years, the club has acquired several properties, including golf clubs, and established the Legacy Foundation for public education in 2019. A politically conservative club, it has faced criticism for awarding figures such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with a gold medal. Provided by Wikipedia
