 A male Century Association member told the "New York Observer" that giving up infrequent visits to the Garrick Club "versus condoning the discrimination of women" seemed like "a pretty easy trade-off".The club's fourth home, on 8th Street, was first occupied by the association in 1852.Henry L. Pierson supervised the move-in, and used his collection of copies of casts of the works of Bertel Thorvaldsen to adorn the rooms.
