Vero Beach Woman's Club, Historic women's club in Vero Beach, Florida.
The Vero Beach Woman's Club is an early-20th-century clubhouse located on 21st Street that displays typical features of Florida's construction methods from that era. The building showcases the architectural style and materials common to regional homes and gathering spaces of its time.
The club was founded under the leadership of Irene Young, wife of Vero Beach's first mayor, and later received land from Indian River Farms Company to establish its permanent location. This gift of property helped the organization become a central institution in the town's early years.
This club was central to Vero Beach's early development, with members championing education and public spaces for the community. The women who gathered here left a lasting mark on how the city looks and functions today through their efforts to improve public areas.
The location is walkable from downtown Vero Beach and situated in a quiet residential neighborhood. Visitors can explore the building's exterior and surrounding area to understand this period of the city's development.
Before receiving its current building, the club met at Sleepy Eye Lodge, another historic location in town, and the group also started the city's first public library there in 1915. This early commitment to literacy and learning shaped how the organization would influence Vero Beach for decades.
