The Santa Clara Women's Club Adobe, also known as the Santa Clara Woman's Club, is a historic adobe structure in Santa Clara, California, dating back to 1880. Its construction can be attributed to the efforts of Franciscan padres from Mission Santa Clara de Asís. This adobe house, one of the oldest in the Santa Clara Valley, was part of a series of homes built between 1792 and 1800 to provide housing for Native American families associated with Mission Santa Clara. In 1913, the Santa Clara Woman's Club purchased the adobe structure.[1][2] California Historical Landmark plaque #249 now marks the location of the Santa Clara Women's Club Adobe.[1]
