The league was a nationwide movement that aimed to advance, protect and uplift American womanhood through suffrage, literacy, domesticity, education and social interaction. Its houses were built in standardized forms, labeled Classes I through IV, which reflected the league's functions and borrowed from period styles, especially Arts and Crafts, Mission and Bungaloid influences. The Annawan house is now a private home. Changes since construction include aluminum storm windows, additional gutters, an addition at the top of the chimney, white paint on the wood, a frame bathroom at the rear and a reworked interior layout. It is described as in generally good repair. The league's activity declined after 1920, when woman's suffrage became law, and the surviving houses show varying degrees of integrity.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Class I American Woman's League chapter house; Arts and Crafts, Mission and Bungaloid influence noted for the series","criteria":[],"status_note":"Now a private home.
