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. Chapter officers were: President, Mrs. Anna Vedder; 1st Vice President, Mrs. Rose Nelson; 2nd Vice President, L. J. Vedder; Treasurer, Mrs. S. J. Moulin; Secretary, Mrs. Cora Pangburn. The Chapter had 66 members. | | Source | Photograph, mounted on scrapbook paper, surface turning silver right edge, surface cracking center and upper right, staining bottom left edge, black mark middle right, 9.53" by 6.72" | | Subject | North Chicago (Ill.) | | Subject | American Woman's League--Chapter Houses | | Subject.Keyword | People--Illinois--North Chicago | | Subject.Keyword | Arts and crafts movement | | Title | American Woman's League Chapter House, North Chicago, Illinois |
