The club is located at 1920 Dexter Avenue North in a building designed by architects Einar V. Anderson, Arden Croco Steinhart, and Robert Dennis Theriault Sr., and built 1959–1961.[2][3] Prior to that they were located in a 1902 building on Eight Avenue by contractors Otto Roseleaf, August S. Peterson, and Otto Rudolf Roseleaf.[4]
The club hosts a number of events for members and non-members with different pricing for each.[1] Among their public events are a monthly pancake breakfast, which draws between five hundred and one thousand people,[5][6] and a Friday Kafé;[7] their Friday evening "happy hour" (which actually runs for 5+1⁄2 hours) is open to "prospective members".[8] They also offer Swedish lessons and show Scandinavian films.[9]
