The Chapter House was built in 1910, but dedication was not held until May 1911 and Edward Gaardner Lewis was present. 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 and Treasurer, Kathryn H. Peck; Vice President, Mrs. J. W. Blake; and Secretary, Mrs. D. M. Hawthorne. There were 49 Chapter members. | | Source | Photograph, mounted on scrapbook paper | | Subject | Compton (Calif.) | | Subject | American Woman's League--Chapter Houses | | Subject.Keyword | Arts and crafts movement | | Title | American Woman's League Chapter House, Compton, California |
