The Anthony Reckless Estate, now the Woman's Club of Red Bank, is a historic house in downtown Red Bank, New Jersey. It was completed in 1870 and was added to both the National Register of Historic Places and the New Jersey Register of Historic Places in 1982.[3]

History

Anthony Reckless was a prominent Red Bank resident who served in the New Jersey Senate from 1860-65. He founded the New Jersey Standard newspaper and was president and treasurer of the New York and Long Branch Railroad.[3]

In 1870 he built the house on what was then a much larger estate. In 1910, the house was moved to make room for the Presbyterian Church. The Woman's Club of Red Bank was founded in 1917 and bought the house and turned it into a clubhouse in 1921.[3]

The club used the COVID19 shutdown in 2020 to catch up with repairs. Today, it offers programming including book clubs, panel discussions, tango classes, and a mom's group.[4]

Architecture

The Italianate style villa has bracketed eves and three bays. A central pavilion forms the middle projecting bay. The entire front of the house has a porch and the interior follows a central hall plan.[3]
