Scope and content
University Union Club. On June 10, 1939 the Union Club, founded in 1888, and the University Club, founded in 1906, merged together. They became the University Union Club and had over 350 members. This building at 539 Broadway was designed by the architectural firm headed by Stanford White. His firm also designed the original Tacoma Hotel. White was shot and killed in 1906 by Harry Thaw, apparently out of jealousy over the relationship between Thaws's wife and White.
