It served as a gathering place for meetings, dances, socials and service groups. The club it housed was involved in local welfare, civic improvement and beautification.","narrative":"Occupying a corner lot at 5th and E Streets in downtown Lincoln, California, this Spanish Colonial Revival clubhouse was built in 1923-24 for the Woman's Club of Lincoln. The wood-frame building has stucco walls, a red clay tile roof over the main hall, a brick entry patio and a large hall with exposed wood beams and maple floors. Sacramento architects Dean and Dean designed it, and William V. Whitsell built it for $11,860. Land was donated by Walter and Emma Jansen, and Carrie Gladding, the club's leading benefactor, gave generously. The club began in 1911 as an improvement group and worked on sanitation, schools, Red Cross aid and local beautification. Once the clubhouse opened, it became a main venue for meetings, dances, socials, Rotary lunches and fraternal and service groups. Its period of significance runs from 1924 to 1950, and it remains in use today with its original floor plan intact.","period_of_significance":"1924-1950","architect_builder":"Architect: Dean and Dean; Builder: Whitsell, William V.","architectural_style":"Spanish Colonial Revival","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Still in use as a meeting hall and clubhouse; the interior floor plan is unchanged from 1923 and the building remains almost as originally built, apart from repairs, replacements and minor changes.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.361455-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/01000331.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000331/6d92479610-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000331/6d92479610-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"T71024","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woman%27s_Club_of_Lincoln_(California),_entrance.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">T71024</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woman%27s_Club_of_Lincoln_(California),_entrance.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123860419","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman%27s_Club_of_Lincoln","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q58030581"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/placer-county/womans-club-of-lincoln-01000331/"}
