User:Silver seren/The Wednesday Club

The Wednesday Club was a women's club formed in 1890 in St. Louis to advocate for better laws and regulations in the city, including "smoke abatement, better schools, sanitation laws, and a cleaner city". They had the Link Auditorium built in 1900 by architect Theodore Link for the club's activities. The building included lecture halls with 500 person seating and other rooms for focused groups, including a kitchen. The club moved to a new facility in the 1970's.
