It also cites the 1924 auditorium as a significant work by local contractor Frank Schuler.","narrative":"Built in 1872 as a brick residence on Market Street in Warren, the Woman's Club building is an Italianate house of three stories with a bracketed wood cornice, segmental-arched windows with metal hoodmolds, and bay windows. Myron Waters, a lumberman, oil refinery owner and bank president, built it that year, and it was later home to his widow, Charlotte Waters, until her death in 1922. The Woman's Club, founded in 1913, bought the house in 1922 and added a 500-seat auditorium at the rear in 1924. Under Criterion A, the building is regarded as central to Warren's social and cultural life, hosting the Philomel Club, the Shakespeare Club and the Warren Players. Under Criterion C, it is considered an outstanding local example of late Victorian architecture, with original woodwork, a handsome stair with a turned balustrade, and marble fireplace mantels. The club also led the acquisition of the Wilkins Farm tract for the Allegheny National Forest in the 1930s.","period_of_significance":"1872-1946","architect_builder":"Schuler, Frank (builder of the auditorium addition)","architectural_style":"LATE VICTORIAN/Italianate","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Continues in use as the Woman's Club headquarters; the auditorium is described as essentially unaltered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:37.01018-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/96000715.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96000715/ea41533a3c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96000715/ea41533a3c-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woman%27s_Club_of_Warren_Jul_12.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woman%27s_Club_of_Warren_Jul_12.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"99000877","name":"Warren Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/warren-historic-district-99000877/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998509","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman%27s_Club_of_Warren","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8030638"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/warren-county/womans-club-of-warren-96000715/"}
