COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Partners in Preservation recently announced that The Clubhouse on South Temple (formerly the Ladies Literary Club) was awarded $150,000 as part of the national 2019 Partners in Preservation campaign. The building, located at 850 E. South Temple, is listed on the National Register as a Utah Historic Site. According to a news release, the Clubhouse won a share of $2 million in preservation funding from American Express. The money will be used to restore the sinking front porch and stairs with the addition of an ADA wheelchair ramp. The winners were determined by a public voting campaign, and members of the public were also able to cast their vote. The 20 competing historic sites garnered more than 1.1 million votes cast between Sept. 24-Oct. 29. This year’s campaign placed emphasis on historic buildings and sites that celebrate the contribution of women in communities, according to the news release. “The House that the Women Built” was constructed from 1911-1913 with the goal for the Ladies’ Literary Club to get women together and “to establish, maintain and carry on a society for the promotion and general diffusion of matters of science, art, literature and other branches of the higher education of women,” according to The Clubhouse website.
