This frieze art consists of a terra cotta floral piece above the entrance with a shield in the centre, containing elaborate greenery and red roses within. The section of the building in question was added in 1928, meaning that the artist for this frieze work could have been the architect, Gustav Albin Pehrson, or he could have outsourced the work.
In 1907 3,000
shares were sold at $10 apiece to finance the new club and plans were set afoot for the construction of a permanent meeting place. Articles of incorporation were filed with the State of Washington in 1909.
The building itself, because of its architectural significance and the importance in American History of some of the early members, has been placed on the
City, State and National Historic Registers.
May Arkwright Hutton donated $500 for the purchase of a lot in Cannon Hill. Total original cost of this first clubhouse was $5000. In 1928 a 7,000 square foot expansion, designed by architect
Gustav Albin Pehrson added a Ballroom/Little Theater and a basement Gymnasium.
By 1936 the mortgage on the clubhouse was paid off. The club remains active and vibrant to this day.
