Description	The Calvert, Texas Chapter of the American Woman's League was one of the first four chapters in the country to qualify for a Chapter House. 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. Each Chapter House featured the League emblem, a wreath of acanthus leaves surrounding the letters A.W. L., and the name, on the front, so the building would be easily recognized by members visiting from other towns. Chapter officers were: President, Mrs. Susie H. Norton; Treasurer, Miss Vivian Wilson; and Secretary, Mrs. Fallulot S. Bailey. The Chapter reported having 22 members. Members posed for this photograph in front of the Chapter House shortly after it was completed.
