In 1916, a group of civic-minded women met to plan the establishment of an organization to provide women of the area with a center for social, civic, and literary activities. John H. Patterson urged his sister, Julia, to help the women of Dayton purchase a mansion that was still in good shape after the Great Dayton Flood. To finance the purchase, Marie J. Kumler, our very first president, led a stock-selling drive for the women. The founders sold stock at $10 per share and raised the $5,000 downpayment.
On November 1, 1916, The Woman’s Clubhouse Company of Dayton, OH was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio.
The club provided the space for women to gather, network, and advance their own lives as well as their community. Education, women’s rights, and politics were debated here. Members of the Club were leaders within the community, promoting music, art, education, civil rights, and suffrage.
In 1975, the Dayton Woman’s Club was entered in the National Register of Historic Places.
The Dayton Woman’s Club invites you to join them for lunch in the historic dining room on Wednesdays from 11 am – 1 pm. Each week a different themed buffet is served by Rich Taste Catering.
