The W.C.T.U. Building is the only structure in the nation built, owned, and still operated by a local chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. It was built in 1911 with financing and upkeep from annual bazaars held since 1906, and it has also been used by the public library and civic groups. Determined to abolish liquor by local option election, the chapter organized in 1902 and won its first election a year later. Meetings have been held every 4th Wednesday since its founding.
