🏛️ Preserving Our Past, Securing Our Future!
Did you know that the story of the Houston Heights Woman's Club dates back to 1900, when the Heights was considered a brand-new suburb outside of Houston? What started as a dedicated literary circle grew into a larger community for civic leadership and women’s history—shaped by early visionaries like Anna Limbocker, co-editor of The Suburbanite newspaper, and an avid suffragist.
In 1911, as the club expanded, Helen Winfield Cooley generously donated the land at 1846 Harvard. Our historic clubhouse has stood at the heart of our community ever since, supported over the years by remarkable figures like valued club supporter Hortense Sparks Ward, Texas’s first female attorney and Supreme Court chief justice.
Now, this treasured landmark needs our help to preserve its foundation for generations to come.
