Women's Faculty Club

Since 1902 the Faculty Club has been a secluded retreat, luncheon club, meeting place, tavern hotel, and party facility for faculty, administrative personnel, staff, alumni, and community members closely associated with Cal. Women have enjoyed full membership benefits for decades.  The Club building is an architectural gem of Craftsman design, by architects Bernard Maybeck and John Galen Howard. It's listed internationally, as one of the finest examples of the style. The carved beams, the fireplaces, the stained glass windows all reflect Maybeck's awareness of a special northern California aesthetic that still arouses a warm response in visitors and members alike. It is said that room 219 is haunted by the ghost of a long dead man... What does he want? Couldn't he get that A?
