The Willcox Women's Club was incorporated in 1916 which allowed the club to own property.[2] The club was a member of the Arizona State Federation of Women's Clubs.[3] The Willcox Women's Club raised money during the 1920s to build the clubhouse, and donated land to the city in a deal for the Works Progress Administration to build the building.[4]

The Building

The Willcox Women's Club at 312 W. Stewart in Willcox, Arizona, was a W.P.A. project begun in 1934 and completed in 1936.[5] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]

It was deemed significant as the only example of Pueblo Revival style in Willcox.[4] The building is also referred to as the Willcox Women's Community Center.[6]
