Summary
At 1118 Chestnut Street, the Union League opened its first clubhouse in 1863 and quickly became a center of pro-Union leadership in Philadelphia. From hosting speakers like Frederick Douglass and Octavius Catto to raising thousands of soldiers, publishing millions of pamphlets, and supporting soldiers’ families, the building became both a symbol of patriotic resolve and a target of deep division during the Civil War.
