Description
Photograph of the exterior front and side of the Friday Morning Club house, on the corner of Figueroa Street and Ninth Street, Los Angeles, ca.1900. Exterior corridors lined with arches run around the front and side of the Mission-revival building. Utility poles and lines run along the sidewalk adjacent to the dirt road in which streetcar rails are visible. A vacant lot is next to the building. A sign over the main entry reads "Women's Club House". "'The hanging of the crane' at the new Friday Morning clubrooms furnished the occasion for a large and enthusiastic gathering of women. By a happy coincidence the time for the first regular meeting of the club in its new quarters fell on the birthday of Mrs. Caroline M. Severance, founder of the organization, and the meeting took the form of a double celebration that was of more than ordinary interest." -- newspaper clipping, 15 January 1900.
