The Women's Athletic Club of Alameda was formed in 1926 and purchased the site. It hired architects Charles F.B. Roeth and E. Geoffrey Bangs to design their building. Its name was changed to "The Bellevue Club" in the 1990s.[2]

The building is a 47,000 square feet (4,400 m2) clubhouse, with a stucco exterior, plus an internal parking garage. It was built as a five-story (plus partial basement and attic) squarish footprint building, with a one-story section behind. A one-story garage addition at the rear was added in 1964. The interior spaces are Chateauesque or Classical Revival in style.[2]
