Hope this helps.
"The South Broadway Athletic Club has come a long way since it was founded on December 5th, 1899. Originally geared towards Boxing, Wrestling, and other sporting events, the club now hosts a wide variety of social gatherings. From dances to holiday parties, the SBAC is able to accommodate a wide range of events."

Thanks. Yeah, it could be anything - with everyone wearing mums, it might have been a dance. The fact that it's a thick soft-look albumen makes me think it might even be the opening of the club - age on this would be right around 1900, just based on the mount. The photo itself looks older, but I guess that's impossible
