For the 1920–2014 private members' club in London, see New Cavendish Club.
The Cavendish Club was a prestigious contract bridge club founded in 1925 by Wilbur Whitehead in association with Gratz M. Scott and Edwin A. Wetzlar. Initially located at the Mayfair House (65th and Park Avenue) in New York City, it relocated several times[1] with a final address in a townhouse on 73rd. St. It ceased operations at the end of May 1991 as a result of rent escalations and falling membership.[2]
The Cavendish had reciprocal arrangements with Crockford's in London, the Golfer's in Paris and the Savoy in Hollywood, California.
In 1975, the Club inaugurated the Cavendish Invitational Pairs, now one of the strongest and most prestigious invitational contract bridge events in the world.[2]
^In 1933, the Club moved to the Ambassador Hotel; in 1938, it took over the former quarters of the Crockford’s Club which was a private house then owned by Ely Culbertson; at the Ritz Tower Hotel 1950-1965; at 23 Central Park South 1965-1974; in 1974, it moved to the Carlton House, stayed until 1983, and after a brief stop on 48th Street, ended in a townhouse on 73rd.
