HQ as Office Space The Great States Room is located on the third floor, next to the President's office. The WHRC office serves as both an office and a library dedicated to women’s history.

The Music Room Pictured is the Chickering Grand Piano (1925), the Herschede Clock (1921), Mt. McKinley National Park (1923), and In the Arroyo (1924).

Although the drawing room maintains much of its original charm, it is decorated with furnishings and artwork donated from clubwomen throughout the years. Its decorations help it maintain a presence from each generation of clubwomen.

The Solarium The basket weave ceiling and green tile floor adorn the solarium. They are a beautiful example of the arts & crafts influenced details put into the home by Grace Hoffman White.

The Women’s History and Resource Center When GFWC moved into 1734 N Street, we began using the room above the carriageway to store documents and conduct research. Since 1984, this room has stayed true to its original intentions, when it was opened as the Women’s History and Resource Center. Today, it houses the GFWC archives, which date back to 1890.

GFWC Guest Rooms In 1738 GFWC has five rooms and nine beds dedicated to housing our visiting clubwomen. This house is your home!

We hope to see you here soon!
