About this property

The New Century Club is located at 253 Genesee Street in Utica, New York. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September, 1985. It is architecturally significant for its Greek Revival architecture, once characteristic of this part of the city of Utica.

It was a work of Utica architect Frederick H. Gouge.
