From horse back riders to modern day Segways… this magnificent piece of property has witnessed it all…Land developer C. Perry Snell graciously donated the current site of the GFWC St. Petersburg Woman’s Club to women of the community back in the early 1920s.
It was rough, thick primitive territory on the outskirts of town with little access other than a rickety wooden plank bridge. After much discussion, the ladies accepted his offer of land and dreamed of a future building they could call their own.
The woman’s club formed in 1913 with fourteen members and joined the Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs.
Historical notes say they formed to get spittoons added to street corners and a fence built around downtown William’s Park to keep out the wandering cows and hogs.
