The San Francisco Architectural Club (SFAC) was founded in 1901 by a group of nineteen draftsmen "for the purpose of maintaining
an educational program to develop the talents of its members and provide opportunities for study and advancement in all phases
of architectural practice, and as a social club for architects, architectural draftsmen, and men of kindred interests in closely
associated occupations, a place where ideas can be exchanged" (SFAC membership brochure, n.d. [1960s]).
