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. 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.
