The Santa Paula chapter, formed in 1913, was the ninth California women's club; the first was established in Oakland by Adrian Ebell in 1876, and the movement was involved in a range of progressive campaigning on social issues.

The building, at 125 S. Seventh Street, was designed by Hunt & Burns and built by contractor William A. Hudson.

It is surrounded by a park in English landscape garden style that was part of the original design for the club.

Alice Stowell McKevett donated land for Ebell Park and contracted the first half of the building in memory of her husband.
