Marker Text: Dedicated to the pursuit of education and humanitarian program, the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs was founded in 1897. The goal of a permanent state headquarters was realized with the construction of this building in the early 1930s. Designed by prominent Dallas architect Henry Coke Knight (1896-1966). It is one of the best examples of Georgian Revival architecture in Texas and features a dominant central two-story portico and fine detailing. (1986)
