Mission Statement
The Berkeley City Club Conservancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the historic Berkeley City Club building and to promoting the legacy of Julia Morgan, its extraordinary architect.
Description
Housed in the breathtaking Berkeley City Club (originally the "Berkeley Women's City Club") the Conservancy is responsible for sharing and preserving this landmarked local treasure. Built at the same time as Julia Morgan was designing Hearst Castle, the 2 buildings share many similarities, and visitors touring the building will learn about what's beyond what they can see. Ms. Morgan was a trailblazing woman of her time, and we are honored to be able to share her legacy with the public, through public and private tours and events. We are currently on a campaign to raise funds to restore the pool windows to their original, leaded glass, diamond-paned glory! Silent Auction/Dinner Fundraiser coming up on October 15, 2024!
