The Madras Club was founded on May 15, 1832 as a European men-only club. It is the second oldest surviving club in India after the Bengal Club, Calcutta. The Express Estate, which now houses the Express Avenue shopping mall, was till 1947, the original home of the Madras Club. The club moved to Moubray's Gardens on the north bank of the Adyar River in 1963 and is still based there. Moubray's Cupola, well over 200 years old, remains in excellent condition, thanks to it being one of Madras's best maintained heritage buildings. #besurprised #Historytoday #Chennai #Madras #History #MadrasClub
