Hall of Fame

The New York Athletic Club Hall of Fame opened in 1981. Joseph P. Ingrassia, the president of the Club at the time, decided that the re-modeled space on the second floor of the City House would be the ideal venue in which to honor those Club members making significant contributions to maintaining the NYAC's position as the world's most outstanding athletic club.
