Marines' Memorial Club, Military club and memorial near Union Square, San Francisco, United States

The Marines' Memorial Club occupies a twelve-story Beaux-Arts building at 609 Sutter Street, designed by the firm of Walter Danforth Bliss and William Baker Faville and built in 1926 as the Western Women's Club. The nonprofit association that owns it runs a hotel, a 650-seat theater, restaurants, a fitness center, a library, a museum, a memorial and a military history bookstore under one roof.

The building was designed by Bliss and Faville as the Western Women's Club and completed in 1926. The Marines Memorial Association bought it in 1947, and the club opened on November 10, 1946, the Marine Corps anniversary, after General Alexander A. Vandegrift proposed a living memorial to Marines killed in the Pacific.

The 650-seat theater was part of the original 1926 Western Women's Club building and predates the club itself. In its early years it hosted nationwide radio broadcasts by Bob Hope, Jack Benny and Frank Sinatra, later the San Francisco Actor's Workshop staged plays by Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and Bertolt Brecht, and it was the first home of the American Conservatory Theater.

The club stands at 609 Sutter Street, at the corner of Mason Street in the Union Square neighbourhood. The 650-seat theater, restaurants, fitness center and museum are inside the 1926 building, and the association counts 21,000 members from all branches of the US military, NOAA and the Public Health Service. Some facilities serve members, so confirm access before setting out.

The theater inside predates the club and was part of the 1926 Western Women's Club building. In its early years it hosted nationwide radio broadcasts by Bob Hope, Jack Benny and Frank Sinatra, and later housed the San Francisco Actor's Workshop and was the first home of the American Conservatory Theater.
