The Pendennis Club was founded by a group of 38 men, led by Henry Watterson, the editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. The club was named after the main character in William Makepeace Thackeray's novel, "Pendennis." The club's original location was in the Galt House, a historic hotel in downtown Louisville. In 1928, the club moved to its current location, a Georgian Revival building designed by the architectural firm of Nevin, Wischmeyer & Morgan.
