Political club
The political club is a feature of American urban politics usually representing a particular party in a neighborhood. They were most prominent in the later 19th and early 20th centuries, most famously in Tammany Hall of New York City. Political clubs were associated with political machines and bossism, but also often saw a split between "regular" and "reform" factions. They formerly often had a prominent local clubhouse, but have declined since politics became less neighborhood-based.
