Rental Info

The Kirkland Woman’s Club is part of the GFWC (General Federation of Women’s Clubs). We are a non-profit organization that unites women for charitable, community, cultural, educational, and environmental purposes.  Our charming little clubhouse was built in 1925 and is on the State and National Historical Registries.  This building housed the first Kirkland Library and a children’s clinic, and now we share this 100-year-old gem and its history with the community.  We hope you enjoy your visit and treat it with care.
