In 1911, a small group of women protested the removal of cypress trees in Sausalito, California. After fighting for the trees, the group adopted an official name, the Sausalito Woman’s Club, taking on pressing issues of the day. By 1914, the club began plans for a clubhouse and established a building fund. Three years later F. A. Robbins donated his property to the Sausalito Woman’s Club. The women chose Julia Morgan, the first licensed female architect in California, to design their new clubhouse—an opportunity to further the club’s founding ideals. One year later, the Craftsman-style, brown shingle clubhouse was dedicated in memory of Grace McGregor Robbins and the club held its first meeting. For over 100 years, the Sausalito Women’s Club continues to tackle current concerns along with offering scholarships to students. The clubhouse became Sausalito’s first landmark in 1976 and was placed on the National Register of Historic places in 1993.
