The club was once at 7078 Hollywood Blvd. The architect of this building was Arthur Rolland Kelly, whose grandson
maintains a record of his work--according to it, no less than Rudolph Schindler remodeled the building in 1944. Looking
for a picture of that.... (It's all gone now.) The tall, gothic-detailed building in the background at left in the second
shot is the Hollywood Professional Building at Hollywood and Sycamore, now apartments called the Seventy-46.
After the WWII, the club bought this house at 1749 N. La Brea:

It was once the Hollywood School for Girls, whose alumni, according to the club's
website, include "Jean Harlow, Carol [sic] Lombard, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. [?], and
Anita Loos." Edith Head and Charles Laughton taught here. The property obviously
being more interesting to the club gals more than the old house, it was replaced
by the present clubhouse, designed by Arthur E. Harvey, in 1947:

Love the grocery cart--a little touch of '80s Hollywood.

Wasn't there a similar squabble not long ago about the fate of the Hollywood Studio Club building?
