Sausalito Woman's Club

The Sausalito Woman's Club Preservation Society is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the historic Sausalito Woman's Club Landmark Clubhouse, designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan. As the first licensed female architect in California and the recipient of the prestigious American Institute of Architects Gold Medal, Morgan's expertise is evident in the clubhouse's impeccable design, which offers breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline and bay. Open to the public for docent-led tours, the clubhouse provides a unique experience of well-being and timeless quality, reflecting Morgan's mastery of light and structure.

Constructed in 1918 with an addition completed in 1923, the clubhouse stands as a testament to Julia Morgan's architectural legacy. Situated above Sausalito's Old Town, where the town's earliest homes and roads were established, the clubhouse's design was likely influenced by the surrounding wooded site and scenic vistas. With a limited budget, Morgan opted for redwood, a logical choice that adds to the building's charm. The Sausalito Woman's Club Preservation Society takes pride in preserving this historic landmark, ensuring that Morgan's architectural masterpiece continues to captivate visitors for generations to come.
