In 1896 journalist and publisher [[Ellen Browning Scripps]] settled in La Jolla, where she lived for the last 35 years of her life. She was wealthy in her own right from her investments and writing, and she inherited a large sum from her brother George H. Scripps in 1900. She devoted herself to philanthropic endeavors, particularly those benefiting her adopted home of La Jolla. She commissioned many of La Jolla's most notable buildings, usually designed by [[Irving Gill]] or his nephew and partner [[Louis John Gill]]. Many of these buildings are now on the [[National Register of Historic Places listings in San Diego County, California|National Register of Historic Places]] or are listed as historic by the city of San Diego; these include the [[La Jolla Woman's Club]] (1914), the [[La Jolla Recreational Center]] (1915), the earliest buildings of [[The Bishop's School (La Jolla)|The Bishop's School]], and the [[Old Scripps Building]] at [[Scripps Institution of Oceanography]], as well as her own residence, built in 1915 and now housing the [[Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego]]. Her donations also launched [[Scripps Health|Scripps Memorial Hospital]] in 1924 (originally located on Prospect Street in La Jolla until it moved to its present site in 1964), the Scripps Metabolic Clinic (now [[Scripps Research]]), and the [[Children's Pool Beach|Children's Pool]]. Ellen Browning Scripps also founded [[Scripps College]], a women's college, in 1926.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scrippscollege.edu/about/ellen-browning-scripps|title=About Scripps College - History|website=Scrippscollege.edu}}</ref> Scripps College is located in [[Claremont, California|Claremont]] in Los Angeles County (not to be confused with [[Clairemont, San Diego|Clairemont]], a neighborhood of [[San Diego]]).
