In 1912, the club moved to 114 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights[2][3] and shared the building with the Brooklyn Women Suffrage Association[1] and the Civitas Club.[4]
In 1915, Ida Sherwood Coffin (née Willets) served as president.[5] After his election in 1921, President Warren Harding wrote to Mrs. William Hoster, director of social services for the organization, to endorse their work for child welfare in Brooklyn.[6]
