The club was formed in 1896 in a house built on the south side of Prospect Street. In its early years, it changed its location several times. In 1901, it moved to the north side of the street, and in 1903 it moved back to the south side, where the Princeton Tower Club now stands. In 1910 it moved to a house built in 1887 for James McCosh, the eleventh president of Princeton University. In 1915, Quadrangle Club sold the McCosh house and built its own house, designed by Henry Milliken, Princeton Class of 1905 in a classic brick Georgian Revival structure. The club has existed in this building since 1916. In 1994, a club porch was added to the south facade.
Quadrangle Club became coeducational in 1970, one year after Princeton University itself began admitting women. The last eating clubs to include women did so in 1991.
