The San Rafael Improvement Club, at 1800 5th Ave. in San Rafael, California, was built in 1915. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
It was built in 1915 as a pavilion for the Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, and was relocated and reassembled in 1916 in the City of San Rafael to be used as a permanent clubhouse building the San Rafael Improvement Club, a civic organization founded in 1902.
The organization may or may not have defined itself as a women's club, but photos show that is what it was.
It served as the Victrola Pavilion, for the Victrola company, inside the Liberal Arts Palace.[2]
It is a wooden building about 63 by 63 feet (19 m × 19 m) in plan. It was designed by William B. Faville in Classical Revival style. When it was reassembled, a roof was added.[2]
It was eventually sold by the club. It was unused from 1997 to at least 2018.[3]
The only other building surviving from the 1915 exposition is the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts.[3]
