Good afternoon
My name is Ann Roe and I am president of the Foundation for the
Preservation of 108 S. Jackson— home of the historic Janesville
Woman’s Club Building. It was built in 1928 for women, by women.
Distinguished guests include Eleanor Roosevelt and Frank Lloyd Wright.
The building has been in continuous use since 1928 and is home to five
clubs, the Janesville Art League whose gallery is on the upper floor
featuring a collection dating back to the 1800’s, The American
Association of University Women, Daughters of the American Revolution,
MacDowell Music Club and the Janesville Woman’s Club
Association— all five groups have been meeting in the building
since the beginning.
The news? We are one of 20 projects in the US chosen to compete for a
national grant to help with bricks and mortar repair. We are the only
project in the state of Wisconsin.
The project that earns the most votes, wins!
So please stay tuned and watch for the publicity on Tuesday, September
24 when the campaign kicks off. I will share voting details then. We
would greatly appreciate your help and support. Meanwhile, make plans to
visit our historic building. Downtown Janesville is coming out of its
slump after GM closed and we are excited to show visitors all we have to
offer.
Thank you. Please email with any questions. Follow us on Facebook or
