History
The beautifully restored Federal style building was originally built at the near mid-city Walnut Street site in 1928 by the Woman's Club of Allentown as a gracious meeting place adjacent to the old Trolley car lines.
In 1991, the building was purchased by the Bar Association of Lehigh County, underwent extensive renovations to meet modern building safety and service requirements, and was restored to its original grandeur.
n 2008, the Barristers Club underwent a $250,000 renovation to once again update the facility. These renovations included new carpet, hardwood floors, audio visual, upgraded kitchen appliances, fresh paint, a new bar, resurfaced parking lots and the creation of an intimate garden in the rear of the building available for outdoor affairs.
Today, the building houses the Bar Association offices, including those of the Lehigh Law Journal and the Lawyer Referral Service.
