Aftermath Clubhouse, Women's clubhouse in Bellingham, US
The Aftermath Clubhouse is a two-story wooden building featuring Italian Villa architectural elements located on Broadway Street in Bellingham, Washington. The structure contains generous interior spaces that serve various functions for community use and private events.
The building was constructed in 1904 and became the first women's clubhouse in Washington State. It grew out of a reading group founded in 1895 that eventually needed its own dedicated building to accommodate the expanding membership.
The Aftermath Reading Circle, formed in 1895, was a literary and social club for women of New Whatcom that also became a means of taking part in community affairs. The name "Aftermath" was kept when the informal circle turned into a formal club. The building is now rented out for weddings, funerals, parties, dances and community events.
The building stands on Broadway Street and is privately owned, so it is not open for walk-in visits; it is rented out for weddings, funerals, parties, dances and community events. The hall offers over 5,000 square feet of rentable space. Contact the operator, Westford Funeral Home, before planning a visit.
