Woman's Clubhouse

770 West Hill Street

Built: c. 1889

Style: Institutional

The Woman's Clubhouse Association has leased this building from the Wabash Park Board since 1930. However, the building was erected as the Orphan's Home. It was remodeled in 1905 and used as a hospital and training school for nurses until 1919. The initial membership of the Woman's Clubhouse was 701 and reached 1,002 during the late 1950s and 1960s. The Clubhouse has served the community by hosting events such as art exhibits and benefit parties.

This large two-story brick structure is notable for its hipped, low-pitched roof, tall, narrow windows with the original four-over-four wooden sashes, segmental window arches, and asymmetrical plan.
