This building, built for the Woman's Club of Madison, is significant for its association with the national Woman's Club movement and to the cultural and social history of Madison. Participation in Woman's Clubs was a catalyst for influencing civic affairs in an era when women were denied the right to vote. Madison's club formed in 1893 and through civic involvement became a powerful force for change. Local initiatives included educational reform and broadening on healthcare services. Cultural programs addressed politics, education, social action, art, history, music and literature.
