Under Criterion C it is an intact example of Gable and Wyant's Spanish Colonial Revival work, reflecting the refined atmosphere city planners wanted in the 1920s.","narrative":"Completed in 1925 at the corner of Chevy Chase and Benedict Canon Drives, this one-story clubhouse was built for the Beverly Hills Women's Club on lots bought in 1923. Designed by the Los Angeles firm Gable and Wyant, it is a restrained Spanish Colonial Revival building with stucco walls, a Mission tile hip roof, casement windows, arcades and a porte cochere. Inside are a main hall with carved wood trusses, a stage, a lounge, a boardroom and a lanai room that replaced an earlier loggia in 1951. The club was the city's first cultural, social and philanthropic community organization. It hosted speakers, art exhibits and drama programs, supported charities and scholarships, and helped raise funds for the Electric Fountain in 1930. The building is also valued as an intact example of the architecture planners wanted for Beverly Hills in the 1920s. The club has run it continuously since construction, and its period of significance ends in 1956.","period_of_significance":"1925-1956","architect_builder":"Gable, George E.; Wyant, C.
