Main Street, Carmi, White County, Illinois, built in 1910 as one of ten chapter houses in a thematic group.","why_significant":"The nomination is part of a thematic group of chapter houses built in 1909-10 for the American Woman's League. The houses were built in standardized classes that reflected the league's functions. The Carmi house is Class II. The document's summary notes are partly garbled and give no explicit significance statement for this house alone.","narrative":"This building at 604 W. Main Street in Carmi, Illinois, was built in 1910 as a chapter house of the American Woman's League. It is one of ten such houses erected in 1909-10 under a nationwide movement that promoted women's suffrage, literacy, domesticity, education and social interaction. The houses followed standardized plans known as Classes I through IV, and Carmi's is a Class II house. Over the years it has been altered. Changes include single-pane windows, central air-conditioning, a roof that overlaps the original roofline, white-painted trim, removal of the emblem, and many rear additions, including a second story at the back. Despite these changes, it is described as being in excellent repair and attractively renovated. It remains a private home. The League's chapter houses declined after 1928, when women's suffrage became law, and the Carmi house is included as part of the thematic group that documents this short-lived movement.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Class II American Woman's League Chapter House (standardized chapter house form)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent repair and attractively renovated, with many rear additions, a second story added at the rear, central air-conditioning, and the emblem removed.
