.. Show moreThe Monday Club is a nonprofit civic organization with a long history
The Monday Club is a nonprofit civic organization with a long history of community service. Founded in 1924, the Monday Club has done many things for the San Luis Obispo community since then. They support local charitable causes supporting women and children and those dedicated to enhancing the San Luis Obispo community's educational, civic, social, and cultural quality.
In 1928 the membership was up to 350 and the need to have their own clubhouse was apparent. A member's husband was the County Clerk, who alerted them of a property on upper Monterey Street that was available because of default. They quickly voted to purchase the property and raised the $3,900 needed. Club members held rummage sales, card parties, flower shows, fashion shows and dinners. Some even shined the shoes of businessmen at a stand on the corner of Monterey and Chorro Streets! The title to the property was acquired after incorporation on August 14, 1930.
Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan designed the beautiful historic building that houses The Monday Club and was constructed in 1933-1934.
Julia Morgan designed the clubhouse to resemble a garden gazebo with an interior awning over the stage area. Large off-white Chinese lanterns lit the room. Miss Barneberg's brother donated the flagstone, shipped from Merced County, for the fireplace. Miss Morgan oversaw the construction and painting of the interior.
Your contribution is not just a donation; it's a pledge to preserve a national landmark and continue to serve our community.
