This building was erected in 1914 and has continuously been the home of the Kansas City Athenaeum, one of the oldest and largest federated women's clubs in Missouri. Familiar names among the 71 chapter members were: Mary Harmon Weeks, founder of the national P.T.A., and Phebe Jane Ess, president for 24 years of the Susan B. Anthony Suffrage Club, and also the first president of the Missouri Federation of Women's Clubs. The last name of the other charter members, Porter, Nettleton, and Gage, are commemorated by building, streets, and schools in this area.
The Kansas City Athenaeum founded The Naturalization Council in 1926, created the General Hospital Rehabilitation Fund in 1947, and started the first Golden Age Club in Kansas City, in 1948. The Athenaeum has been the motivating force behind many of our city's social, political and cultural programs.
