The Woman's Club of Jacksonville was an historic
Ninah Cummer donated the land and the Tudor-style building was constructed in 1927 to serve the Woman's Club of Jacksonville. The original 13,264 square-foot building was designed and built in the same style as Cummer's adjacent estate at her request.[4] The structure was designed by architect Mellen Clark Greeley.[5]
The Woman's Club of Jacksonville was instrumental in advocating for women's suffrage and other issues.[6]
The building served as home to the Woman's Club of Jacksonville until November 2005. The Cummer Museum acquired the Woman's Club of Jacksonville in February 2005.[7]
The Woman's Club donated their records to the Jacksonville Historical Society.
The building was purchased in 2008 and the exterior was renovated at a total cost of $7 million. Due to extreme termite damage discovered in 2016 the building was demolished.[8]
