Biographical / Historical The Friday Morning Club was founded in 1891 by Caroline Severance, Los Angeles suffragist, reformer, and social activist. Caroline Severance and a group of women met at the Hollenbeck Hotel on April 16, 1891 to form a women's club and decided upon the name Friday Morning Club. Caroline Severance would become the club's first president, a position she held until 1894. After moving their meetings to various hotels for several years, the club broke ground on their own clubhouse in September 1899, on Figueroa Street in Los Angeles; it opened in 1900. The club had committees on art, science, literature, home economics, and many others. They also focused much of their work and efforts in philanthropy, volunteering, and the betterment and beautification of Los Angeles. By 1906, the club had over 1,000 members. In 1923 the club re-built a new, bigger clubhouse on the same site. In the 1970s, they sold the building but continued to meet. Due to a steadily declining membership, the club dissolved in 2012. Scope and Contents The Friday Morning Club records consists of materials created by the Club and its members, dating from the year the club started in 1891 to is closure in 2012. These records document the activities of the club such as: philanthropy and charity work; finances; fundraising; ; the various work of the club's committees on science, art, and other topics; the construction of their clubhouses in Los Angeles; and the meeting minutes of both regular meetings and the board.
