It is also significant as a work of architect Julia Morgan (Criterion C). It housed nearly 10,000 young women over about fifty years.","narrative":"Built in the mid-1920s to a design by architect Julia Morgan, this three-story stucco-covered concrete building at 1215 Lodi Place in Hollywood was a residence club for young women pursuing film careers. Its Mediterranean-style plan wraps around an open courtyard with pergolas, and its symmetrical front has tiled roofs, arched entries, quoins and a loggia. Dedicated in May 1926 and funded by film figures, local citizens and the YWCA, it housed up to 88 women, offering meals, a rehearsal hall and an auditorium where studio talent scouts held auditions. Nearly 10,000 residents passed through over about fifty years, among them Marilyn Monroe, Kim Novak and Donna Reed. The nomination presents it as part of the studio star system and as a notable project in women's history, since women filled all major roles in its creation. The club closed in 1975. The building was later leased as a Job Corps facility but retains a high degree of exterior integrity.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Julia Morgan","architectural_style":"Italian/Mediterranean Renaissance revival","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Closed as a club in 1975 and vacant by January 1977; partly remodelled inside in 1977 and then leased to the U.S. Department of Labor as a Job Corps facility, with high exterior integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.485047-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/80000806.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000806/20c790b29a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000806/20c790b29a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Los Angeles","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hollywood_Studio_Club,_North_Wing.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles</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:Hollywood_Studio_Club,_North_Wing.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859210","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Studio_Club","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12060422"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/hollywood-studio-club-80000806/"}
