UCLA History: Faculty Club Design (that didn't happen)

The official caption for the middle one reads "Architectural rendering of west elevation House for Faculty Clubs." The official caption for the bottom one reads "Architectural rendering of east elevation of House for Faculty Clubs." (Typos corrected in all of the captions.)

Note the plural of "Clubs." Apparently, there were to be separate men's and women's clubs housed within the structure. The Faculty Women's Club long predates the current structure which was eventually built - but without housing - in the late 1950s.
