The Chapter won all three prizes, which included this bungalow and lot. The Chapter planned to use this bungalow as their Chapter House until they could qualify for a Class V Chapter House. The officers were Acting President, Dr. Henritte E. Sweet; Vice President, Mrs. Ella K. Sprinkel; and Secretary and Treasurer, Jennie Van Allen. The Chapter reported membership of 2,600. By 1911, financial difficulties of the League stopped the building of any more Chapter Houses, and the Los Angeles Chapter never received their Class V Chapter House. | | Source | Photograph, mounted on scrapbook paper, 9.27" by 6.90" | | Subject | American Woman's League--Chapter Houses | | Subject | Los Angeles (Calif.) | | Subject.Keyword | People--California--Los Angeles | | Subject.Keyword | Arts and crafts movement | | Title | American Woman's League Chapter House, Los Angeles, California |
