Summary:
Before the Mystic Community Center became an integral part of Mystic life, its predecessor, the Mystic Club, or the Mystic Community Club, which grew out of the Cosmopolitan Club, opened its doors on August 10, 1911 and stood for many years on Holmes Street. By 1939 the building was known as the old Community House. Public donations and volunteers kept the organization alive until World War I took many members away. By 1921 a new community club made its debut until the Great Depression finally caused the disappearance of the Club form its perch on the river bank.
