Julia’s Closet Thrift Shop

Who Is Julia?

You might be wondering who Julia is? We named our thrift shop after Julia Morgan, one of the most prolific and important woman architects ever to work in the United States. She was the first woman licensed architect in California and designed more than 700 buildings in her long and successful career. Julia’s most iconic commission was Hearst Castle in San Simeon. She was notable for her meticulous craftsmanship, her creation of fine interior spaces, and her ability to deliver outstanding buildings within a tight budget.

Julia was a woman striving to succeed in a man’s field and relied on many women’s organizations for support over the years. Julia designed over thirty Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) buildings. In 1918, Julia Morgan proudly designed our very own YWCA in San Pedro in which we are the last standing Julia Morgan building still used as a YWCA.
