How the neighborhood club began
In the Fall of 1890, five men, all interested in the game of lawn tennis, held a meeting for the purpose of making plans to organize a club, to build tennis courts and a club house. At this meeting it was suggested that each one of the original five men invite five other men to attend a meeting which was called for December 13, 1890. The thirty men, all living in West Newton, met and organized the Neighborhood Club.
