| History |
The club, started by a group of Stockton women who formed a history
study club in 1893, was named Philomathean which means a "lover
of learning". Club members held their meetings in various
locations and decided to build their own clubhouse for their growing
membership.
The Philomathean Club was designed by local architect W.E. Wood and
was completed in February 1912 at a cost of $15,000. During the
ensuing years, the members continued their strong commitment to
community service.
 On January 8, 2009, the Philomathean was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property has also been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.
