The Wausau Club is located in Wausau, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
History
The site the club is on once held a house that belonged to Rufus P. Manson, a Mayor of Wausau and a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, and his family of twelve. After Manson and his wife died, the house was split into two separate properties and each was moved to a different location. The following year, the Wausau Club was formed and would move another house from a different location onto the one previously occupied by the Manson residence. Multiple additions would later be made to the building, including one addition and refurbishment that cost $140,000. During the Prohibition Era, an underground tunnel connected to the Wausau Pilot newspaper building was used to move alcohol to and from the club undetected.[2]
