It was the first of three League chapter houses built in California. The club's efforts contributed to parks, schools, a public library and health care in the community.","narrative":"This small, cross-shaped bungalow on a landscaped 50-by-130-foot lot in Corning was built in 1910 as a chapter house of the American Woman's League, a national organization founded in 1908 in St. Louis. It was the first of three League buildings in California. Stucco walls, a gabled roof, and many multi-paned wood casement windows define its look, and the original terra cotta League emblem remains above the south-facing gable. Inside, a plaque titled Woman's Mission hangs over the fireplace. The local chapter worked for women's suffrage until California women won the vote in 1912. The Maywood Woman's Club, organized in 1898, then moved into the building. Over the decades the club backed a city park, a high school, an elementary school, a library that grew into the public library, and a local blood bank. It still serves as a clubhouse, despite changes such as a relocated front door and added interior finishes.","period_of_significance":"1910-1942","architect_builder":"Helfensteller, Hirsch & Watson","architectural_style":"Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Still used as a clubhouse; somewhat altered but retains sufficient integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.480013-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/92001301.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001301/6e1fb18e52-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001301/6e1fb18e52-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"NoeHill","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maywood_Womans_Club.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">NoeHill</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maywood_Womans_Club.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123862182","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maywood_Woman%27s_Club","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6798163"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/tehama-county/maywood-womans-club-92001301/"}
