The Women's Club House
Description
Colorized image of the Women's Club House at the north-west corner of Fifth (5th) & Court Streets. In 1878 the Portsmouth Board of Education gave this building for use as the first public library, also known as the "Wharton Library." The new Carnegie Library on Gallia Street opened in 1906. City directories from 1908 - 1913 list the Portsmouth Federation of Women's Clubs at 501 Court Street. Boy Scouts used this building in the early 1920's. From 1928 to 1955 the Portsmouth City Health Department was located here. The building was razed in about 1960.
