The Dehra Dun Club, founded in the year 1878, is one of the oldest clubs in the country. According to the late Mr. Prem Hari Har Lal, a distinguished member of the Club and an erudite historian of the Doon Valley, “it was originally housed in Col. Young`s bungalow where St. Joseph`s Academy now is.”. The club was incorporated as a limited liability entity in February 1901 as the Dehra Dun Club Limited. Shortly thereafter, the club purchased the land on which it presently stands, then known as “Rangers Court Estate”, No. 3 New Survey Road, for a sum of Rs. 18,200/- vide sale deed dated 15.03.1903. The building work was started under the supervision of Col. Philimore of the Survey of India. The colonel and his wife spent their last days residing in the Club and writing the history of his Department.
