Charles Street in Carlinville was built in 1910 as a Class I chapter house of the American Woman's League. The League was a nationwide movement that sought to advance, protect and uplift American womanhood through suffrage, literacy, domesticity, education and social interaction. Ten chapter houses were built in Illinois in 1909-10, using standardized forms in four classes that reflected the League's functions and the school styles of the period, especially Arts and Crafts, Mission and Bungaloid influences. The Carlinville house stands near the Macoupin County courthouse square. Over time it has gained a porch on the facade, an addition at the top of the chimney and a frame bathroom at the rear. The wood is painted white and the stucco peach, and the interior layout has changed. It remains in use as a private home and is in generally good repair.
