About this landmark

Plaque text:

Berkeley City Club
The Berkeley City Club, organized in 1927, was one of the area's earliest attempts by women to contribute to social, civic and cultural progress. The building, constructed in 1929, is one of the outstanding works of noted California architect Julia Morgan, whose successful interpretation of Moorish and Gothic elements in this monumental structure created a major landmark of California design.
