Designation of the Club located at 357 "G" Street, Chula Vista. They stated
the Club House was built and dedicated in 1928; it has been headquarters for
the Club continously since that time. Further, it has provided a center for
cultural and civic betterment in Chula Vista through the ensuing years.
Architecturally the Club House is among the first of the buildings built in
Chula Vista in the Spanish style, and is quite possibly the only remaining
Spanish style structure built during the 1920's. Through the years they
endeavored to maintain the architectural style of the building and preserve
it as part of the cultural heritage of the community.

Chairman Griffin explained the criteria in Chapter 2.32, Section 2.32.070 of
the Municipal Code which designated the Commission's duties for recommending
a historical site. Mr. Reid also stated that in 1977 there was a staff
analysis and report prepared that recommended designation of the site based
on criteria A, C and F in Section 2.32.070. This would be the criteria that
the Commission use in making a recommendation to City Council.
(MS) Hodson/Donovan recommended the Club be designated a historical site
based on crieteria A, C and F.
The Motion not being timely, was withdrawn.
Mr. Rojas, President of the Chula Vista Historical Society told the Commission

contributed so very much for the community. The women of the Club were
