Roy Reece.","why_significant":"The clubhouse is significant in architecture as a good example of a bungalow built for a specific purpose, with Craftsman and Colonial Revival detailing and a club motif on its shutters. It is significant in social history as the home of a local women's club that has served community needs since 1922. The building retains much of its original character, furnishings and fixtures.","narrative":"Built in 1922 on North Marble Street in Rockmart, Georgia, this one-story bungalow was designed as a meeting place for the town's woman's club. The side-gabled building has Craftsman and Colonial Revival details, including clapboard siding, a rock foundation, a full-width front porch and shutters with club-shaped cut-outs. Most of the interior is one large room with a fireplace, window seats and built-in bookcases, with a kitchen and dressing room in the rear ell. W. Roy Reece, a recent Georgia Tech graduate, was the architect. The club began in 1906 as a reading club and joined the state and national federations of women's clubs. Beyond its own meetings, the building served the town as a venue for receptions, concerts, proms and weddings at a time when Rockmart had little comparable space. The club also supported cemetery care, sidewalks, a park fountain and the founding of the public library in 1941. Original furnishings and fixtures remain largely intact.","period_of_significance":"1922-1945","architect_builder":"Reece, W.
