Men play croquet at side of building. The building originally belonged to the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, who used it during their two-week summer events. In July 1900, it (along with the collections held inside) was given to the Museum Association, an organization headed by Mary E.B. Norton. In 1902, the Pacific Improvement Company deeded the half-block and buildings to the Association.
