About this property

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States in 2009. It is located in Topeka, Kansas. The Topeka Council of Colored Women's Clubs (TCCWC) was founded by Beatrice Childs in 1923. TCCWC was affiliated with the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs (NACWC) and with the Kansas Association of Colored Women's Clubs (KACWC). TCCWC itself was made up of seven different smaller clubs. TCCWC members met in their own homes or in churches until they were able to purchase a clubhouse in 1931. The money to purchase the clubhouse was loaned by Emma Gaines to TCCWC. The building that later became the clubhouse for TCCWC was built as a family home by William Warren in 1901.
