"The Wednesday Club of Suisun is located at 225 Sacramento Street, near the center of town and two blocks west of Main Street. Built as the meeting place for a group of civic-minded women dedicated to community improvement via expanded health, educational and cultural programs, the Wednesday Club of Suisun was designed by San Francisco architect William Crim, Jr. and was first occupied in early 1926. It is a splendid single-story example of the California Mediterranean Revival style whose synthesis of Italian and Spanish motifs enjoyed high regional regard during the boom years of the 1920s. Clad in smooth, cream-colored stucco, the elegant Wednesday Club is unlike any other building in the vicinity, the other lots in the neighborhood being occupied by more modest private residences of painted shiplap.
The Wednesday Club is a wood-frame construction with interior walls of smooth plaster over lath. The building’s gabled front entrance and spacious foyer lead to an airy central hall lit by glass-globed lamps depending from the ceiling. This main room is flanked at its east end by a lounge with a large river rock fireplace and by a platform stage at its west end. The oak hardwood floors are original, as are the other design elements such as built-in bookcases, lamps, fireplace and mantle. The fenestration admits ample natural light, as do three sets of multi-paned double doors opening on to a rear patio and garden. All elements contribute to the aptness of the building for its intended purpose as the focus for community events, social gatherings and lectures. In addition to the clubhouse proper, the 0.46 acre lot includes a front lawn with shade trees, a circular driveway, a red brick walkway, and a rear patio and garden." (
