Monmouth Beach Club Logo.
The Monmouth Beach Bath & Tennis Club (known popularly as “The Club”) is on Ocean Avenue. I consider this coastal building to be a definitive piece of Monmouth Beach architecture. May it stand forever.
Construction began in around 1910 and it probably hosted its first real beach goers in the summer of 1914 (see ad for Monmouth Beach Inn below). The man who conceived of it and started the building lost the property to scandal and back taxes. The borough took over and tried to make a go of it for years (generally without success).
A group of wise members who already loved the spot and envisioned a magnificent club acquired control (for just $50,000) a couple years after WW II. Today, generations of families still enjoy the club.
The following is a photo collection of “The Club” through the years. Enjoy:
