[3] Historical and contemporary artwork can be found in the meeting rooms and main corridor of the club from artists such as Ray Boynton and Jacques Schnier.

[4][5][6] The Faculty Club was originally built in 1902 to designs by noted Bay Area architect Bernard Maybeck in the American Craftsman style as what is now the Great Hall.

[7][8] Subsequent additions such as architect John Galen Howard's lounge with double fireplace to the south, and kitchen and dining rooms designed by Warren Perry and remodeled by W. S. Wellington, significantly expanded the building's footprint.

[2] Over the years, many stories have circulated about The Faculty Club – and specifically Room 219 – as the site of reported paranormal activity.

[14][12] In March 1974, Keio University professor Noriyuki Tokuda told The Berkeley Gazette that he had seen a "very gentlemanly" man sitting on a chair watching him while he was half asleep, while staying in Room 19 of The Faculty Club.
