About the Item

On offer is a lithograph of a detailed presentation drawing, likely intended for publication or display, showcasing the ornate architectural details of a proposed building for the Women's University Club in New York City. The design exemplifies a neoclassical or Renaissance Revival style, which was a popular choice for upscale New York clubs at the time. This architectural drawing is a lithograph of the proposed designed by the firm of Nelson & Van Wagenen. The drawing itself likely dates from around 1912-1915, the period when the club selected the plans and the architects were active partners. The Women's University Club was founded by college-educated women, a notable group in the early 20th century, to provide a space for social and academic gathering. In 1912, the club purchased a plot of land on East Fifty-second Street for their new home and selected Nelson & Van Wagenen's plans after reviewing designs from several firms. As stamped in the lower right corner, this piece is from the collection of the University of California’s Architectural Department.
