DescriptionThe Edwardsville, Illinois Chapter of the American Woman's League was the first chapter to receive a chapter house. They qualified for this Class II arts and crafts style chapter house which was dedicated on July 20, 1909. It was built for them by the League on a lot purchased by the Chapter. The League provided a set of mission style furniture and carpets. The League also provided the phonograph which appears in the foreground. The League maintained a Lending Library of phonograph records which circulated among the chapters in cases like the one below the phonograph. Above the fireplace is a plaque of the League emblem, "Woman's Mission," designed by sculptor George Julian Zolnay. This photograph appeared in "The Woman's National Daily" on July 24, 1909.
