The home's newest addition is the front porch, a reproduction of the original. The Society was so named in honor of Chapman, former president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and founder of the League of Women Voters. I think it makes the house more visible to the public.
People realize something is being accomplished.
We're very, very pleased to have it there. The Chapman-Catt house was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Still to be completed is a handicap-accessible entrance at the rear of the home. The entire brick shell was removed and the house covered with tarpaper for almost three years while the brick was being cleaned, McCartney said. Supplemented with additional period brick, the exterior was completed last summer.
