dc.descriptionOldest of the clubs in Hyderabad, it was established on the pattern of cantonment clubs in British India and opened on 26 April 1878, meant mainly for the military officers and railway officials in the area. Initially called Secunderabad Public Rooms, it changed name in 1888 to United Services Club, still later it became known as the Secunderabad Club. Its imposing building in hill station style has murals painted by M.M. Kaye of the Far Pavilions fame. The club has a ball room, a Gymkhana, and a library. Salar Jang I donated large sums of money to the Club and ensured the membership of the Hyderabadi nobility, so that it did not become a British-only club.en_US
