"Southern California architect Thomas Preston designed this one-story, multi-gabled, Craftsman style bungalow clubhouse that was built in 1913, incorporating elements of an old Welsh church. The club was formed in 1899 as a civic organization called the Town Improvement Association; it changed its name to the Woman’s Improvement Club of Corona in 1902. The building’s architectural features include painted wood cedar shingles on the exterior walls, a steep-gabled main roof with clipped gables over the side wings, an original oak front door with beveled glass, and wooden porch piers on prominent brick bases.It was added to the National Register on November 3, 1988, and is one of only two/three remaining structures within Corona city limits with that status."
