Walter H. Ratcliff, Architect

— 1913 —

City of Berkeley Landmark
designated in 1991
Berkeley's Elks Club, the 1002nd Chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, was founded in 1905, just in time for members to assist those displaced by the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Later they helped wartime survivors and needy children.

This is one of many Ratcliff buildings in Berkeley. Classical Revival style pilasters at corner bays, the projecting cornice, and oversized oak doors are in the tradition of men's clubs of the era. This building's three-part composition, formal second-floor detailing, and Greek frieze are elements of Beau-Arts design.

Sold by the Elks to a church group in the 1990s, the building was acquired in 2008 by the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center.
