University Club

In contrast to the Metropolitan Club of a few days ago, the University Club is a gentleman's club.  It also occupies a prime location on the shoulder of Nob Hill, across from the Fairmont hotel at the busy crossing of the Powell and California Cable Car lines.  It must enjoy quite a view.  It was completed in 1915.

Like the Metropolitan club, this one presents a slightly seedy exterior to the world, but I guess that is just what town clubs do.

I especially like the brickwork on this one.
