A Brief History
The Houston Heights Woman’s Club (HHWC) was founded in 1900, part of the larger women’s club movement across the country. What began as the Houston Heights Literary Club outgrew the parlors of its members and in 1912, the Clubhouse at 1846 Harvard became the official home of the HHWC, and quickly became a hub of the community. Through volunteerism and social activities, generations of HHWC members have kept the legacy of our founders alive.
The history of volunteerism and community service by members of the HHWC ranges from creation of a library at Heights High School to working as Red Cross volunteers during both World Wars.
Involvement in the community is just as important today! Become a member today.
The Historic Clubhouse
The Clubhouse was built in 1912 on a parcel of land donated by Club member, Helen Cooley, to accommodate the growing membership. It remains open for business today thanks to the devoted efforts of generations of Club women overseeing ongoing maintenance and repairs.
