The University Club of San Francisco is a private social club located atop Nob Hill in San Francisco, California. The University Club of San Francisco was founded in 1890 by William Thomas, who was an alumnus of Harvard University (class of 1873), and the President of the Harvard Club of San Francisco. Thomas wished to have a club that would accept alumni of more universities than just Harvard, and would include West Coast universities such as Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley as well as Ivy League schools. In 1908 the Club purchased a lot atop Nob Hill at what is now 800 Powell Street, on the northeast corner of California Street, across from the Fairmont Hotel at the intersection of the two lines of the San Francisco cable car system. It had formerly been the location of the mansion of Leland Stanford, which had likewise been destroyed in the Earthquake. There, it built a new four-story brick Italianate-style clubhouse, designed by the local firm of Bliss & Faville, who also designed the Westin St. Francis Hotel, the Southern Pacific Building, portions of the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition and many other San Francisco landmarks. The new clubhouse devoted the second floor, and part of the first, to residence rooms. The third floor contained a restaurant and bar, and the fourth floor, a bar, library and other rooms. The Club also obtained the site of Stanford's former stables, situated just to the east of the Clubhouse. On that site, in the early-1970s, it constructed its athletic facilities, including singles and doubles squash courts. In 1988, under pressure from anti-discrimination lawsuits and judicial trends, the University agreed to accept women as members. *** Description sourced from Wikipedia.
