The FMC's first clubhouse was at the same location, and was a Mission Revival style 2-story building that cost $25,000 to build in 1900.

When World War I swelled their numbers far beyond the capacity of that building, they dismantled it, sold it with its furnishings to the Catholic Woman's Club, and built the current 6-story Italian Renaissance Revival style structure in 1923 on its site.
Its two auditoriums and seating for almost 2,000 made it suitable to the Friday Morning Club's popular arts and theater programs in the 1920s and 1930s.

The Figueroa Hotel was built directly across the street from the Friday Morning Club in 1925.
It was also financed and run by women, to meet the needs of business, professional, and traveling women in Los Angeles.
The two are a microcosm of the increasingly important and complex roles women were playing in American society in the 1920s.

Society for the Preservation of Variety Arts
The club sold the building's title in 1977 to the Society for the Preservation of Variety Arts, who used the Variety Arts Theater auditorium for live plays, cabarets, meals and revivals of early stage and radio dramas, and for filming and special events rentals.
The Society also displayed many unique and extensive collections in the field of theater arts in the building.
The SPVA Library is open as a research facility to serious students of the theater arts.

The Friday Morning Club's members continued to meet and serve the community, from the leased back 5th floor and later rented quarters on Wilshire Boulevard, until the 1990s.
Today, the Ebell of Los Angeles is the largest functioning woman's club in the city, with around 400 members and a large 1927 clubhouse in the Hancock Park district.

The building was sold to AEG in 2004, then subsequently sold to property developer David Houk in 2007.
In October 2015 Hillsong Church Los Angeles announced that they had signed a 15-year lease on the property, with two 5-year extension options, and will use the building for their church services and for offices.
 After extensive renovations,  Hillsong LA expects to move into the building in early 2017.
