The Punta Gorda Woman's Club was organized in 1925 through the consolidation of three local women's clubs: the Fortnightly Club, the Married Ladies Club and the Woman's Civic Association. The building was constructed in 1925 on land donated by Judge William F. Cooper, a winter visitor. Designed for stage productions, dances, large dinners and meetings, the building had a ticket booth between the main entrance of double doors. In 2000, unable to maintain the building the Punta Gorda Woman's Club turned the facility over to the Historical Society to manage.
