Women’s Club of Hollywood headquarters on the southwest corner of Hollywood Blvd and La Brea Ave, circa late 1910s
The Woman’s Club of Hollywood was founded in 1905 by 20 wives, daughters, and sisters of Hollywood pioneers and wasted no time in helping to create the Hollywood Public Library and the Hollywood Studio Club, which gave a home to many hopeful young girls coming to Hollywood to make it in the movies. In 1914, work began on a permanent headquarters at 7078 Hollywood Blvd, where it meets La Brea Ave. I couldn’t find the date it actually opened, but I assume this was taken in the late 1910s. The building is no longer there, but the club is still around today and headquartered around the corner on La Brea.
