The original 1905 clubhouse and this building was constructed immediately afterwards to the same design as the regular building. This club house was built by the company to provide a meeting and dining place for office employees, superintendents and factory foremen. Here, for a nominal fee, they could enjoy the benefits of a private club with dinners served at noon. The meals, which were served "a la carte" were also served at supper for those obliged to stay late at the office. There were three dining rooms, one for men, one for ladies, and a third for officers and heads of departments. In addition to serving as a dining spot, the large rooms in the building were regularly used for lectures attended by the graduate engineering students working at Allis Chalmers. The building was frequently used evenings for receptions, parties or other forms of entertainment.
No longer extant per survey in 2007. Demolished in 1997.
