Carr, a physician, was largely responsible for organizing the American Woman's League Chapter in Carlinville, Illinois. The Chapter qualified for this Class I arts and crafts style Chapter House built for them by the League on a lot donated by Miss Matti Judd. The League emblem, a wreath of acanthus leaves surrounding the letters A.W.L., and the name, were placed on the front of each Chapter House so the building would be easily recognized by members visiting from other towns. Dr. Carr served as Chapter President. Other officers were Mrs. W. R. Crew, who served as treasurer and Mrs. D. R. Davis who was secretary. There were 42 Chapter members. | | Source | Photograph, mounted on scrapbook paper, 9.11" by 6.81" | | Subject | Carlinville (Ill.) | | Subject | American Woman's League--Chapter Houses | | Subject.Keyword | Arts and crafts movement | | Title | American Woman's League Chapter House, Carlinville, Illinois |
