Description	The American Woman's League Chapter in Frostproof, Florida qualified for this Class I arts and crafts style Chapter House built for them by the League on a lot donated by W. H. Overocker. The League provided a set of mission style furniture and carpets, as well as a state of the art phonograph, just visible at the far end of the room. The League provided a Lending Library of phonograph records which circulated by mail among the Chapters. The Chapter had acquired a piano for social activities and musical events, which the League encouraged. Since many towns did not yet have electricity, each Chapter was responsible for installing their own lighting system. The Avon, Montana Chapter chose elaborate gas fixtures to light both ends of the meeting room.
