It includes the Court Tennis Building.[2][3] The club was incorporated in 1898 with the sponsorship of financier and founder of the prominent Whitney family, William C. Whitney.[4] The building was constructed around 1902, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 27, 1984. The Aiken Tennis Club is the world's most equatorial court tennis (also known as "real tennis") venue, and one of only two American courts south of the Mason-Dixon line (the other is the International Tennis Club of Washington). Former world champions that have played on the court include Northrup R. Knox, G.H. "Pete" Bostwick, Jr., Jordan Toole, Jimmy Bostwick, Wayne Davies, and Robert Fahey.
