The Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club was built in 1886, designed by the architectural firm of Renwick, Russell and Aspinwall in the ‘shingle style’, prevalent along the Jersey shore at the time.   It is one of the oldest lawn tennis clubs in the United States and one of the oldest standing structures in Rumson. Their collection of photographs, trophies, and other memorabilia amounts to a one-of-a-kind archival collection accessible to scholars studying the history of the sport. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992 and continues to be used as an athletic club in the manner for which it was built.

The 2023 Trust grant will help fund structural upgrades at the locker rooms and pro shop as well as the restoration of the windows and upgrades to the electrical service.

The 2022 Trust grant will help fund design and contract documents for Phase 2 restoration of the Clubhouse, including structural upgrades and repairs to the locker rooms, kitchen, front porch, and pro shop.

The 2018 Trust grant helped fund a more in-depth documentation of the existing structural conditions and prepare contract documents addressing structural deficiencies from foundation to roof, removal of the existing five layers of roofing and installation of a new roof and addressed any electrical deficiencies and any related repairs to the porches, siding, trim and interior finishes.
