Description	An 1865 newspaper describes the Athletic Club grounds as being just west of the Wagner Free Institute, at 17th and Montgomery. Also described as 15th and Columbia, the two descriptions being part of the boundary of the same grounds. The New York Clipper, May 24, 1862, lists the home grounds of various Philadelphia clubs. The Columbian is based at "17th and Master." The Excelsior, Mercantile and Minerva are based at "15th and Col"
