History
Originally built in 1928, The Barristers Club was once The Women’s Club of Allentown. In 1991, The Bar Association of Lehigh County purchased, renovated, and restored the building to its original grandeur. In 2008, the building went through $250,000 worth of renovation with new carpets, hardwood floors, better audio, visuals, upgraded kitchen appliances, fresh paint, new bar, resurfaced parking lot, and an intimate garden. Today, The Bar Association of Lehigh County holds their offices in this building and rents out their space to the general public for special events.
