    I well remember the flood of 1955. A result of hurricanes Connie and Diane coming in August less than a week apart. We lived on Gen. Greene Avenue. I was afraid I would have to have a swimming party for my birthday! But the water only came to the bottom of the street.

This organization began in November 1894 as the Young Men's Hebrew Club, with a membership of twenty-seven. Its first meetings were held in a room in a building on South Broad Street, below Factory, but later the club moved to East State Street, between Broad and Warren Streets.

New quarters were acquired in the Alhambra Building, and sometime after the Thropp property on East State Street became the club's headquarters. In 1922 the members bough...
