Knight, but came to grief three years later. It is true that the building was only closed a few days; but when it reopened, although the name "Athenæum Club" was retained, it had become a proprietary undertaking, and so remained until the end of 1918, when it was sold to a company. Knight attempted to launch a City Club in 1872, but this does not seem to have survived its infancy.
