The Engineers Club of Montreal : The Engineers' Club, a social club, was founded in 1902 and incorporated in April, 1903. It began as a social club for engineers and associated professionals. The first by-laws also included a special membership category so that non-engineering professionals could join the club. There was also a non-resident category for members not living in Montreal. In 1906, with 300 members, the club moved from its home on Dorchester Street to the Dow house in Beaver Hall Square. It remained at this location until 1979 when the club was dissolved. At the same time as the move, women acquired certain privileges including a room of their own in the new club house. Previously, women had only been allowed into the club on special occasions.

By 1910 there were 425 members. This rose to 600 in 1913. To accommodate the growing membership the first of many renovations to the club house was begun. Funds for this were obtained by buying life insurance policies on the lives of some members.

Club fees fluctuated during the life of the club. In 1903 the entrance fee was five dollars with an annual fee as well. A significant change in fees took place in January 1914 when the entrance fee was raised to fifty dollars and annual dues to five dollars for resident members.

Due to the war, another fee change took place in 1914. During both wars annual dues were waived for those serving overseas. Entrance fees reached a high in 1928 when they were set at fifty dollars with annual dues being five dollars. With losses of members and money in the early 1930s, the club decided to waive the entrance fees in 1935 to encourage membership. To offset the decrease in revenue the annual dues were raised in 1936. When the club closed in 1979 entrance fees were fifty dollars and annual dues twenty-five dollars.

In 1941 membership privileges were extended to widows of members. This special membership lasted until the end of the club's life. Female membership was greatly enlarged when, in the early 1970s, the Themis Club chose the Engineers' Club house for its new home. The Themis Club's papers are not among this collection.

Membership in the Engineer's Club peaked in the 1950s but steadily declined after that. Due to rising costs, and declining membership, the club closed its doors in February, 1979.
