The clubhouse, located at 107 Wellington Street West (at York Street), was designed by Frank Darling and S. George Curry in 1888^[1] and opened in 1889. The building had additions and alterations between 1911 and 1912 by Darling and Pearson.^[2] The building mixes different architectural styles and marks an important transition in Darling's career. The clubhouse was recognized as a heritage property by the City of Toronto in 1984 and by the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 2002.^[1]

Membership at the Toronto Club is by invitation only and is completely gender-neutral. The Club is strictly for members and their invited guests.
