The Northern Club has over 1900 members, drawn from Auckland's professional and business community. The Club Buildings are ranked Category I by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heritage New Zealand )〕 ==History== The Northern Club was founded by a group of prominent professional and business men in 1869 when the popularity of a gentleman's club was at its peak throughout the British Empire. The club's founders, with remarkable daring and foresight, agreed to purchase a handsome quarrystone building overlooking Albert Barracksin Princes Street. The four-storey building, a high-rise in its own time, was originally designed as a hotel and built on the first section sold at Auckland's inaugural land sale in 1841. Following the purchase, architect Edward Ramsey was commissioned to rearrange the hotel's internal rooms for use by the 120 founding members. In 1991 the Club voted to admit women and today has a thriving membership of men and women. Membership of the Northern Club attracted many leaders of the Auckland community, and the Club has played an active and sometimes pivotal role in the history of New Zealand's largest city. In 2010, the Auckland Club was absorbed by The Northern club, adding over $3,000,000 in assets to the club, and 250 members 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Northern Club (Auckland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
