About the Montauk Club

Designed by Francis H. Kimball and completed in 1891, the building’s unique exterior decorative features employ the vocabulary of the Venetian Gothic combined with motifs from the Native American Montauk people. The building is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful terra cotta-based architectural works in New York City. The Club is located in the Park Slope Historic District. In 2017, the Montauk Club and Bone/Levine Architects received the Municipal Art Society’s MASterworks Award for Best Restoration.

The Municipal Art Society Is Founded

The Municipal Art Society (MAS) is established on March 22, 1893, by Richard Morris Hunt and other civic activists, with a founding mission to beautify New York with public art. Throughout its first century, the organization expanded its mission to include the city’s buildings, streetscapes, and public spaces, with the aim of bringing the voice of the public into the debates that impact the lives of New Yorkers.
