During the 1900-1901 school year, a number of undergraduates from the now-defunct Yama and Ovando Clubs took a lease on a small house on Olden Street in Princeton.
Called "The Incubator," the undergraduates used this house as a temporary location while they searched for a more permanent clubhouse.

In January 1901, the newly elected members of Campus Club began negotiations to purchase the residence of Professor Andrew Fleming West, which was located at the corner of Washington Road and Prospect Avenue (where Campus Club stands today).
The club members financed the purchase of the West house through sale of approximately $45,000 of "Princeton Campus Club Bonds."
Once the residence was acquired, the new members began using the West residence as their clubhouse.

In 1909, the members of Campus Club elected to construct a new clubhouse, and the original West house was moved to the corner of Nassau Street and Princeton Avenue.
The new clubhouse, designed by Raleigh C. Gildersleeve, who had previously designed McCosh Hall and completed alterations to Cap and Gown Club, was completed weeks prior to the 1910 commencement.

On November 24, 1951, a fire broke out inside of Campus Club.
The fire caused extensive damage to the third floor, and a major renovation was required.
Renovations were completed in 1953, and the club remained in this state until it was acquired by the University in 2005.
