Commissioned by journalist and philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps in 1913 (she donated the land and $40,000), the La Jolla Woman’s Club building exemplifies Gill’s modern style in its simplified geometry, repetitive arches, and minimal ornamentation. With an emphasis on austere surfaces and flat rooflines, the building takes from California’s Spanish traditions as well as Gill’s interest in reductive forms. Although more expensive than traditional framing techniques, Gill used his experimental concrete “tilt-wall” construction method to pour and erect the exterior walls in single units, resulting in a technologically advanced and formally straightforward concrete structure. On the interior, the architect (who was obsessed with hygiene) took the undecorated planes of the facade even further, eliminating mouldings, baseboards, and paneling to prevent the collection of dust.
