WCO celebrates 100th anniversary of clubhouse By Cathy Thomas The date of Oct. 6, 1924, marked the culmination of the dream of the founding members of the Woman’s Club of Orange. After 10 years of renting in the second story of the Kogler Fran- zen Block (“block” was used to describe a structure which con- tained more than one store or office), all of the items used to conduct their business and social activities had been packed and moved to their brand new club- house at 121 South Center Street in Orange. An article that appeared in an Orange publication, Aug. 18, 1924, described the dedication ceremony: “With earnest petition for blessing on the finished work, with review of the past and hope- ful and happy anticipation for the future, with the presence of a large concourse of members and friends both from home and from outside club centers, and with the hearty greeting and good wishes from sister clubs voiced by their representatives present, the new clubhouse of the Orange Woman’s Club, just completed on South Center Street was dedi- cated. “Mrs. L.P. Damewood, past president of the club, whose en- ergetic and devoted work has been so largely responsible for the accomplishment of the new club house was the final speaker of the afternoon. The personality of Mrs. Collins, the founder of the club, who’s (sic) broad vision and occasion, a sweet and grate- ful memory, honored the hearts of her friends and shortly to receive visible tribute by Mrs. Dame- wood, in the form of a memorial tablet to be placed in the new building. The first exclusively social occasion of the club in the new home will be dancing and card party which will welcome members and guests on Friday evening.” During 1924-25, Club Presi- dent Mrs. Clyde Watson was quoted, “The first year in the new clubhouse proved to be a most successful one for the Woman’s Club of Orange. $1,400 of the club debt was paid, besides the regular monthly payment to the Building and Loan Association. During this period, the club did not think only of itself. Its phil- anthropic mission continued. A Junior Auxiliary was organized with 35 charter members, and the year closed with a membership of 298." The clubhouse architect was M. Eugene Durfee of Anaheim. His plans were for a Mediterra- nean Revival-style stucco build- ing with stucco facades and an entry portico. Its design included the most modern conveniences of the day. The clubhouse became the center of the Orange commu- nity with dances, theater, opera, fashion show, luncheons, dinners and card parties. The clubhouse became a bil- let for GIs during World War II, as well as a facility for the Red Cross. The Woman’s Club of Orange Clubhouse has been an active community meeting place since its opening in 1924. To- day, the clubhouse and gardens together make a popular event facility that has the charm and character of the early 20th-centu- Woman’s Club President Carol Allen receives a commemorative anniversary plaque from realtor AJ Ricci. ry era.
