Nacirema Club

The Nacirema Club (American spelled backwards) was located at 3949 Fourth Ave. So. in Minneapolis.  Tax records show that the building was built in 1934.

In an article in Minnesota History, Jackie Beckey reports that the club (sometimes called “The Nac”) opened in 1955.  It was used for hosting community meetings, Christmas parties, and fashion shows.  It was also a jazz venue – Stebbins reports that it was a jazz hotspot in 1964.

By 1967 it had 600 members, with A.B. Cassius as president.
