Directions and Parking
The Somerset Club is located at 42 Beacon Street, halfway between the State
House and Charles Street and specifically between Walnut and Spruce Streets.
It is a light gray granite building with two turrets, easy to spot amid all the red brick
in the area. The number 42 is important to remember because the building is
not otherwise identified.
