History

Originally located at 4th and I Streets, it was moved to its present location in 1984. It was used by the Wendlers as a store until 1920, after which Florence Wendler converted it to a boarding house. In 1948, she and her daughters opened Club 25, an exclusive private club for women. It was eventually opened to general membership, and was for many years a landmark of the city's social scene.^[2]
