Club Uruguay is a gentlemen's club located in Montevideo, Uruguay.
History[edit]
The club was founded in 1878 as a merger between the Casino de Comercio, whose members belonged to the business elite, and Club Libertad, which was a social haunt of the traditional upper-class.[1]
Building[edit]
Club Uruguay is based in a historic building in the old city that faces Constitution Square.[2] The building is architecturally significant.[3] Designed by Italian engineer Luigi Andreoni, it reflects renaissance, mannerist and baroque influences over its three floors.[2]
It was declared a National Historic Monument in 1975.[4]
