About this property

The Houston Heights Woman's Club is a club located in the neighborhood of Houston Heights in Houston, Texas. It was founded in 1900 to support literary and scientific undertakings, the maintenance of a library, and the promotion of painting, music, and other fine arts. According to the club's Constitution and By-Laws, which the club's founding members adopted in 1905, an important part of the club's purpose is to "aid and encourage charitable and educational interests of Houston Heights" as an important part of the club's purpose. Originally founded as a daytime group, the Houston Heights Woman's Club remains active after more than 125 years. Generations of these dedicated, community-oriented women have contributed to the history of the Heights and greater Houston since 1900, and served at the forefront of Women's issues since. They gather regularly for meetings and programs, and enjoy various other activities throughout the year, including community outreach volunteer projects, charitable fundraisers, outings, and social events. In 2007, the Houston Heights Women's Club-Evening Group was founded. In 2025, both daytime and evening Groups unified as one Club.
