The Pendennis Club was a private social club for men in Louisville, Kentucky, and this view records its clubhouse as it looked around 1906. The photograph is a glass negative made by the Detroit Publishing Company, a firm known for large-scale photographic views of American cities, landmarks, and institutions, which it sold as prints and postcards. Such views are useful for seeing how Louisville's downtown architecture and street life looked in the early twentieth century. The Louisville club's name and location are noted on the record, so the picture can be matched to the building's history.
