This clubhouse was built to provide a safe, supportive, and economical
residence for young women studying the arts. This was part of a trend to
construct buildings for artists at the turn of the century that was
indicative of a growing appreciation for the arts in urban life and as a
worthwhile educational pursuit. The Byzantine-style entrance contains
mosaics representing the three arts of music, drama, and painting. The
110 units were arranged around a central courtyard. |
