Los Angeles Nurses' Club is a clubhouse and apartment building constructed in 1924 by the Los Angeles Nurses' Club. The club was organized and incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1921.cite news|author=Ella G. Dietrich, R.N.|title=How Los Angeles Nurses Financed Their Club House|publication=The American Journal of Nursing|date=April 1924]

The club's members conducted several bazaars, some theatre parties, and a dance, raising funds to buy a lot, which they then sold for a profit. By 1923, the club had raised sufficient funds to purchase a hilltop lot at the corner of Third and Lucas Streets. The clubhouse was intended to provide a place "where registered nurses may live and enjoy the few quiet hours spared from their arduous duties."cite news|title=Nurses to Build Home: Clubhouse Financed by Members Planned by Attendants' Organizationn of City|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=1923-05-20]

Architect John J. Frauenfelder was hired to design the building. Frauenfelder designed a structure consisting of four stories and a basement. The ground floor had a large living room with a library and fireplace, which was intended to lend a "home-like atmosphere to the clubhouse." Frauenfelder's plans also included an auditorium for lectures and motion pictures. A garden was built at the rear of the building with views of the mountains. The structure included housing for 100 nurses and was also the headquarters of the group's professional activities, including the city's Central Registry for nurses. [cite news|title=Clubhouse for Nurses to Appear: Corner-stone of Building Will be Laid Tuesday With Appropriate Services|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=1923-12-09] When completed in 1924, the building was the first clubhouse in the United States to be entirely financed and built by and for nurses.cite news|title=Nurses To Open Own Home: Clubhouse Unique in Country Will be Formally Occupied Thursday With Entertainment|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=1924-07-27] The cost of building the structure was $160,000. The "Angelus Sextette", composed of nurses from the Angelus Hospital, sang at the dedication ceremony in 1924.

The building was designated as a Historic-Cultural Monument by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Board in April 1988 (HCM #352), [cite web|title=Historic-Cultural Monuments (HCM) Listing|publisher=City of Los Angeles|url=http://zimas.lacity.org/HistoricPreservation/HCMDatabase.pdf] and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
