History
Anthony Reckless was a prominent Red Bank resident who served in the New Jersey Senate from 1860 to 1865. He founded the New Jersey Standard newspaper and was president and treasurer of the New York and Long Branch Railroad.In 1870, the house was built on what was then a much larger estate. It was relocated in 1910 to make way for a Presbyterian church. The Woman's Club of Red Bank, founded in 1917, purchased the house and converted it into a clubhouse in 1921.
During the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020, the club used the time to complete repairs. Today, it hosts a variety of programs, including book clubs, panel discussions, tango classes, and a mom's group.
