The La Jolla Woman's Club is a women's club located in a historic building in La Jolla, a coastal neighborhood of San Diego, California, United States. The club was founded in 1894 as the Current Events Club and adopted its present name in 1900. After operating without a permanent home for two decades, the organization commissioned a clubhouse whose construction was funded and donated by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps.
The clubhouse, situated at 715 Silverado Street, was designed by architect Irving John Gill with assistance from his nephew Louis John Gill. Construction began with the laying of the cornerstone in December 1913, and the building was completed and first used in 1914. Gill’s design exemplifies his modern architectural style, characterized by simple geometric forms, extensive use of arches and columns, minimal ornamentation, and a “shaved Spanish” aesthetic that references California’s colonial mission architecture. Notably, the structure employed Gill’s experimental concrete “tilt‑wall” technique, in which concrete slabs were poured on a sloped table and then lifted into place.
The interior reflects Gill’s emphasis on sanitation; it lacks baseboards, mouldings, and other details that could trap dust. The building occupies approximately 0.6 acre (0.24 ha) and has been described as one of Gill’s most successful works.
In recognition of its architectural significance, the La Jolla Woman's Club was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP reference number 74000546) on November 5, 1974. The clubhouse remains in use for the club’s activities and is open to visitors on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon. It also serves as a venue for private events such as weddings, fundraisers, lectures, and community gatherings.
