Located at SW Park and Taylor streets, it featured an indoor pool, and hosted dinners and ballroom dances, including popular acts and musical performances. The club closed in the 1980s and the building was razed in the late 1990s for the construction of The Paramount Hotel. Fun fact: Amelia Earhart was a member of the ACO in 1933.
