Mission & Vision
The mission of the Union League Club of Chicago Architectural Preservation Foundation (ULCC-APF) is to restore, maintain, and preserve the historical and architectural significance of the Clubhouse building, an important symbol of Chicago’s long, storied, and diverse legacy as the "City of Architecture."
The Foundation provides dedicated funds to ensure the Clubhouse remains strong and vibrant for future generations, protecting its architectural integrity, structural stability, and modern functionality while honoring its legacy as a cornerstone of civic engagement, leadership, and tradition.
The Clubhouse
The Union League Club of Chicago (ULCC) Clubhouse, located at 65 W. Jackson Blvd in Chicago, Illinois is a 20-story Georgian Revival landmark built in 1926 by Mundie & Jensen. In 2026, the Club will celebrate the iconic building’s 100th anniversary.
The building features a limestone base with brown brick, housing, and opulent interior spaces. It includes a 4-story athletic department with an indoor pool, multiple event and dining spaces, and 190 guest rooms.
For over 140 years, the Union League Club of Chicago has been a haven for its members to pursue civic engagement, nurture community, and promote culture. Throughout its extensive history, ULCC members have made and continue to make significant contributions to Chicago’s civic and cultural life as demonstrated by the Club’s commitment to community, country, and culture. The Union League Club of Chicago (ULCC) was founded in 1879 and traces its origin to the Union League of America (ULA), a Civil War era organization formed to support Abraham Lincoln and to help preserve the Union.
