Regarding The Coolidge Woman's Club. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
On September 27, 1926, a group of women from the town and surroundingcountryside met at the home of the Postmistress, Mrs. W. E. Nutt, and organized the Coolidge Improvement Club for the cultural and social betterment of themselves and their new community. On November 20, 1926 the group joined the Southern District Federated Women's Clubs of Arizona and changed the name to the "Coolidge Woman's Club". Thus these frontier women became a part of the larger national movement for the formation of woman's clubs. In 1927 a lot was donated by Mr. R. J. Jones, the founder of the original townsite,-for the,specific purpose of building a Woman's Club building. Mr. Jones was interested in having a cultural and educational meeting place for public groups in his very young town.
