The Ladies Library Association Building in Kalamazoo, Michigan was the first building erected as a women's club in the United States.[2] It was also the country's first structure owned by a women's organization.[2] It was built in 1879 by funds raised by the Ladies' Library Association of Kalamazoo (LLA).[3]

Building

The lot for the building was donated by Ruth Webster, long-time member of the LLA. The building was designed by Chicago architect Henry Lloyd Gay and built by Frederick Bush. It is built in the Venetian Gothic Revival style.[4] Built in 1879, the building became a Michigan State Historic Site in 1961 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[4][5] Architectural details include ornamental ironwork, decorative tiles, and stained glass windows.[6]

Current status

The Ladies Library Association Building is still occupied by the Ladies' Library Association of Kalamazoo. In 2013 the LLA completed restoration of the building which brought the structure to present-day code. In 2015 it received the State History Award in Historic Restoration.[7]
