Attending today’s State Historical Resources Commission meeting? Remember the meeting starts at 9 a.m. inside the California Natural Resources Agency Auditorium in Sacramento, or watch it virtually at www.cal-span.org. Eight properties are being considered for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and one as a California Historical Landmark: the Claremont Club.

A clubhouse building designed by master architect Charles Kaiser Sumner, the Claremont Club was initially completed in 1911, but expanded in 1916 and 1924. Founded in 1908 as a fraternal organization at the home of R.H. Van Sant, the club's founders purchased land for the clubhouse to serve as a community gathering place to serve the influx of middle and upper class residents building homes in Claremont Park. Upon opening of the clubhouse in 1911, membership became open to both men and women.

Find the full list of nominees and information to join the meeting at www.parks.ca.gov/PublicNotices
