In 1901, a small group of pioneer women organized the Self Culture Club of Glendale with the primary focus being the betterment of themselves and the community through literary endeavors. The Club federated in the General Federation of women's Clubs in 1902, and later became known as The Glendale Women's Club. As the population continued to grow with the opening of the Sugar Beet Factory in 1907, so did the Club's membership. The women found it impossible to continue to meet in their homes, and decided to acquire their own clubhouse. By 1912, enough money had been raised to construct the building at a cost of $2,947.00. The land on which it is built was donated during a real estate promotion. The women hired Thornton Fitzhugh, a prominent Arizona architect, to design the clubhouse. The building is of the Craftman Bungalow style and was constructed with imported California redwood. The building was dedicated in 1913. The Club still owns and uses the building today.
