Women's Club - Hodgenville, Kentucky

Public Square - Built in 1934 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The building is currently and has always been used as the home for the Hodgenville Women's Club. From the National Register Registration Form:

The Women's Club is a one-story, stone veneer, three bay, rectangular

limestone surrounds. At the corners of the building are limestone quoins.
The building rests on a raised basement which has multi-light wood
windows. At the rear of the building is a one-story brick wing which was
built ca. 1850 and was part of the original building on this site. Only
the brick walls of this wing remain and the interior was remodeled during

The interior retains its original floor plan and detailing and includes
Colonial Revival influenced mantles and decorative door surrounds.
The building is sited on an urban lot on the public square in
Hodgenville. On the north, west, and east facades is an original stone
retaining wall which is included as a contributing structure. At the
southwest corner of the fence on the main facade is an original monument
