Its historic tennis clubhouse was built in 1892 and was the sole surviving building associated with the Tennis Court development[4] until 1988, when it was partially destroyed by fire.[5] It was razed in 1992 with the approval of the Landmark Preservation Commission due to lack of funds for restoration.[6] It was a long, two story Colonial Revival style building sheathed in clapboard and shingles. It had a gambrel roof and featured a deep porch supported by Doric order columns.[7] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] A replacement clubhouse was built after.
The club features 5 clay courts. It has an active roster of 160 members, with a waiting list to join. The Knickerbocker also offers a free summer program for neighborhood children.[8]
