The Club came into existence in the year 1875
and then moved into it's present premises in
1900. The officers of the Calcutta Light
Horse Regiment were among the Club's
founders and when the Regiment was disbanded
after India's Independence, the Regiment
Trophies were housed in the bar called "Light
Horse Bar" which still retains the
same old decor & atmosphere.
For a princely sum of 'Rupees Five', John
Carapiet Galstaun of 234/4, Lower Circular Road
assigned premises no. 7 Wood Street to Saturday
Club.
John had a 51 years lease with the owners of the
premises - the Trustees and Shebaits of the
Rajendra Mullick Bahadur of Marble Palace.
