La Jolla Woman's Club
La Jolla Woman's Club, Historic social club in La Jolla Village, San Diego, United States.
Description
La Jolla Woman's Club is a clubhouse built in 1914 using the tilt-wall concrete method, featuring geometric shapes, arches, and columns throughout its design. The building contains large windows and open interior spaces arranged for social gatherings and community events.
History
The organization started in 1894 as a literary discussion group and grew into an influential association. Ellen Browning Scripps funded the construction, while architect Irving Gill and his nephew Louis John Gill designed this building.
Culture
The name reflects the women who founded it as a gathering place for discussion and civic engagement. Visitors notice how the building still serves community members and represents the role these women played in shaping local life.
Practical
The building welcomes visitors on Saturday mornings from 9 AM to noon and also hosts weddings, fundraisers, and community events. Check ahead to see if special events are happening, as the space may sometimes be reserved for these occasions.
Did you know?
The interior deliberately avoids baseboards and decorative moldings to prevent dust from collecting on surfaces. This design choice came from architect Irving Gill's principles and reflects early 20th-century thinking about cleanliness.
