DescriptionThe American Woman's League Chapter in Corydon, Kentucky qualified for this Class I arts and crafts style Chapter House built for them by the League on a lot donated by Christian Schnabel in exchange for a life membership in the League. The League provided a set of mission style furniture and carpets, as well as a state of the art phonograph. Since many towns did not yet have electricity, each Chapter was responsible for installing their own lighting system. The Corydon, Kentucky Chapter chose elaborate gas fixtures to light both ends of the meeting room.
