The American Woman's League was a political and social organization founded by magazine publisher Edward Gardner Lewis in 1908.
Lewis commissioned the St. Louis architectural firm of Helfensteller, Hirsch & Watson to design five classes of buildings which the League would use as meetinghouses.
The Andover Chapter House is an example of a Class I building, which was designed for clubs with 30 to 60 members.
[1] It is one of nine American Woman's League chapter houses on the National Register in Illinois.
