The Monday Club of San Luis Obispo
historic place
The Monday Club of San Luis Obispo, a historic place in San Luis Obispo County, was founded in 1924. This civic organization was established by women to promote civic engagement, education, and the arts, empowering women within the community. The club's building, completed in 1934, is a notable example of California Mission-style architecture. It was designed by Julia Morgan, California's first licensed female architect, known for her work on Hearst Castle. Members raised funds for the property through community efforts. Today, the Monday Club continues its mission, supporting local charitable causes and enhancing the community's educational, civic, social, and cultural quality. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This site reflects women's organizational efforts and architectural heritage in San Luis Obispo.
