On July 1, 1997, the club absorbed the Pittsburgh Club membership and assets [1] and in 2002 merged with the Allegheny Club in 2002 after the Allegheny had filed for bankruptcy protection.

In 2024, the club elected Christopher Profeta as its president. His tenure has focused on reviving the club's civic relevance by expanding public-facing programming, introducing monthly "First Friday" events, and forging partnerships with regional nonprofits and cultural institutions in Pittsburgh.
