The Woman's Club of Lodi is designed in the Neoclassical style. The front entrance has a portico with four tall Corinthian columns topped with a pediment, all typical elements of Neoclassicism. However, the building's design also incorporated "feminine" elements such as flower-patterned light fixtures and tile in the interior and southern exposure to sunlight in several rooms. In its National Register of Historic Places nomination, the building was called an "architectural landmark" and "the most attractive of [Lodi's] major structures".[2]
The Woman's Club of Lodi was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 20, 1988.[1]
