A Look Back Into Our Past

1831

Land Purchased

Land was purchased by James Hill and remained in that family through the next century. The original house was board and batten with a large side porch.

1831
1890

House Moved

The original frame house (minus porch) was moved next door and a new, larger, 3 story Victorian house of Zanesville brick was built on the original site.

1890
1905

Fraternity Moved In

The Sigma Chi Fraternity and later Phi Gamma Delta Fraternities of Ohio Wesleyan University occupied the house.

1905
1954

WCC Founded

The Women’s City Club was founded by Zuella Way and others. The clubhouse was purchased by Glenn Way and presented as a gift to the members of Women’s City Club. The top two floors were dedicated to housing for low income working women. The House remains faithful to the original period architecture and adornments. The many renovations have been completed over the years by members and friends of the WCC.
