Tebbets Chapter of the American Woman's League in Corning, California was founded in 1909 by Mrs. Arvilla DeLuce. The Chapter qualified for this Class II arts and crafts style Chapter House built for them by the League. Construction of the Chapter Houses was handled by local companies, and there was some flexibility in use of materials. This Chapter House was constructed with a brick foundation to match the chimney. The League emblem, a wreath of acanthus leaves surrounding the letters A.W.L., and the name, were placed on the front so the building would be easily recognized by members visiting from other towns. Chapter officers were: President, Mrs. J. B. Maynard; 1st Vice President, Mrs. Frances Bradley; 2nd Vice President, Mrs. J. B. Merritt; Treasurer, Mrs. Arvilla C. DeLuce; and Secretary, Mrs. Alice J. Strawn. The Chapter had 78 members. | | Source | Photograph, mounted on scrapbook paper, 9.26" by 6.73" | | Subject | Corning (Calif.) | | Subject | American Woman's League--Chapter Houses | | Subject.Keyword | Arts and crafts movement | | Title | American Woman's League Chapter House, Corning, California |
