Nash- Berkeley City Women's Club (1929), Berkeley, CA, Julia Morgan19Julia Morgan was a West Coast architect.plain2016-03-06T19:40:48-08:00In form and function this building represents a modern historical movement and the modern woman behind it. Women's organizations between 1900 and 1930 in California were looking to claim and create new buildings which best served their cause. They wanted to define their own boundaries on their own terms. In 1927 they sought the iconic Bay Area native architect Julia Morgan to define their dreams. Julia Morgan was one of the first female graduates in the civil engineering at University of Berkeley (1894), the first woman to gain admission and earn a certificate from the Ecole des Baux -Arts in Paris(1898-1902), the first woman to acquire an architectural license in California(1904), and one of few women to have her own practice in the country. The Berkeley Club is affectionately referred to as, " Julia's Little Castle" and is an eclectic mix of Moorish and Gothic styles. It is a registered California Historical Landmark and currently functions as a hotel and civic club and open to all.
