== History ==
Prominent early club members included architects [Bernard Maybeck](/source/Bernard_Maybeck) and [John Galen Howard](/source/John_Galen_Howard), author [Charles Keeler](/source/Charles_Keeler), and the journalist [Frank Morton Todd](/source/Frank_Morton_Todd).

Maybeck designed the original 1906 clubhouse,<ref name=":0" /><ref>Kenneth H. Cardwell, ''Bernard Maybeck: Artisan, Architect, Artist'', Peregrine Smith Books, 1977</ref> which was destroyed in the [1923 Berkeley Fire](/source/1923_Berkeley_Fire). John White, Maybeck's brother-in-law, designed the current clubhouse in 1924. Among the club's first projects was the construction of [Hillside Elementary School](/source/Hillside_Elementary_School) for the Berkeley Public Schools.
