Their Class I Chapter House was built for them by the League in the fall of 1909 on a lot donated by Mrs. Ella V. Hamman, and was the first one built in the State of Texas. The League provided a set of mission style furniture and carpets, along with a phonograph built into a mission style cabinet. The Chapter received phonograph records from the League's Lending Library on a rotating basis. The plaque over the fireplace, designed by George Julian Zolnay, is a representation of the League's logo - a woman, seated, with two children. | Source | Photograph mounted on scrapbook paper, 7.85" by 5.89" | Subject | American Woman's League--Chapter Houses | Subject | Calvert (Tex.) | Subject.Keyword | Arts and crafts movement | Subject.Keyword | Furniture, mission | Title | American Woman's League Chapter House, Calvert, Texas - Interior |
