- Abstract
- The Republican Women of Pennsylvania, Inc., was founded in Philadelphia in 1920 by a small group of civic-minded women who had worked on the Republican campaign for the presidential election. The foundational purpose of the organization was to educate women about political issues and encourage thoughtful political participation. The club was granted a charter by the state of Pennsylvania in 1922. Membership remained small but active in the early years, and the women were influential in bringing voting machines to the city of Philadelphia. In the years prior to World War II, the organization hosted distinguished political guests and organized political events, including three interstate Republican women’s conferences and two mock Republican Conventions. In 1941, the group purchased a building at 250 South 16th Street to use as a clubhouse. After the war, membership increased dramatically. Children’s groups were added in the 1960s, and a full calendar of social events coexisted with political activities. The women raised funds for charitable and political causes through the annual Holiday Market and other events. In 1978, the club received a federal exemption from income tax as a social club, which precluded donations to political campaigns. The group began a terminal decline in membership, mirroring the general decline of women’s clubs in the United States. In 1993, the clubhouse was sold, and the group rented space from the Racquet Club of Philadelphia. In 1997, an agreement was made with the Union League and the Abraham Lincoln Foundation for the use of a suite until the group disbanded around 2014. The collection includes extensive administrative and financial records, as well as scrapbooks and photographs documenting the club's activities.

Background note
Women received the right to vote in August 1920 with ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, and they exercised their new right for the first time in the presidential election of 1920. Pennsylvania women contributed their efforts to the Republican campaign for presidential candidate Warren G. Harding, and at the last pre-election meeting of the women’s ways and means committee, they decided to continue their political work beyond the election and broaden its scope. Before the meeting was adjourned, a new group was established with a president, Alma V. Lorimer; a secretary, C. Beatrice B. Fox; a treasurer, the Countess de Santa Eulalia; and a name, the Republican Women’s Club of Pennsylvania. Three weeks later, on 21 November 1920, this small civic-minded group of Philadelphia women held the initial meeting of the first Republican women’s club formed in the state. The foundational purposes of the organization were to educate women about political issues and to encourage thoughtful political participation. Issues, legislation, and candidates were examined, and the group determined its own opinions, independent of the party line. In 1922, The Republican Women of Pennsylvania, Inc., was granted a state club charter by the state of Pennsylvania. Branch clubs were subsequently chartered in surrounding counties. The Philadelphia branch club eventually merged with the Republican Women of Pennsylvania in 1947.
Meetings were first held at 17th and Chancellor Streets, but the club quickly outgrew the location and moved to 1511 Locust Street. In 1926, they moved to the Charlton Yarnall Mansion at 17th and Locust, a property owned by Alma Lorimer and her husband. When the clubhouse was formally opened in 1927, it was named “Hannah Penn House” in honor of William Penn’s second wife. Members referred to themselves as “Hannah Penners” and their club as the “Hannah Penn Chapter” or “Hannah Penn Club,” though this was never a formal designation.
In the club’s early years, membership was comparatively small but active. The group was influential in bringing voting machines to the city of Philadelphia. A Young Republicans group for women under 35 was formed to draw younger women into political engagement. On the night of the general election in 1922, Pennsylvania Governor-Elect Gifford Pinchot greeted supporters in a receiving line at the clubhouse. From 1923 to 1940, the club published The Republican Woman, a magazine edited by Alma Lorimer. In 1924, they organized a mass meeting at the Academy of Music with Charles Dawes. Republican leaders from all levels attended. In 1926, the club hosted a series of receptions for state governors. President Hoover’s wife, Lou, visited in 1928 to be guest of honor at a reception and tea. Campaign work and events continued throughout the 1930s. Three interstate Republican women’s conferences were held at the clubhouse as well as two mock Republican Conventions. The U. S. entrance into World War II caused a shift toward activities in support of the war effort. The Republican Women knitted items for servicemen, organized first aid classes, and coordinated entertainment for servicemen in the city. The war, however, did not halt the club’s political endeavors. The women continued to follow political developments, work on campaigns, and host legislative conferences. By the end of the war, they were working to end the New Deal.
After club president Alma Lorimer died in 1941, the Charlton Yarnall Mansion was sold, and a new headquarters was needed. A $10,000 bequest from their late president helped the club to purchase a nearby property at 250 South 16th Street. Lorimer’s sons provided many of the furnishings for the new clubhouse. The mortgage was paid off in 1950, and the occasion was celebrated with a ceremonial burning of the mortgage by then-president Lilias Lord.
The decades following World War II were the heyday of the RWPA. Lilias M. Lord was elected president for the first time in 1946, serving for eight years. She had been involved with the club from a young age, first as Alma Lorimer’s page and then as chair of the Young Republicans. Under her leadership, club membership grew from 250 to over 1800 in 1954. Lord declined to run again in 1954; however, in 1962 she was reelected to the office. In 1963, the Hannah Penn "Deb" (debutante) groups were added for girls under age 21, and then in 1967, the William Penn groups for boys were added. Age group ranges were adjusted to match the change in voting age from 21 to 18 in 1971. Many activities and social events were held for the children in the 1960s and 1970s. Lilias Lord remained president of the club until her death in March 1970. Membership peaked around 3000 in the same year.
The School of Politics, a course to teach political fundamentals, was established for members in 1950. In 1963, it was adapted under the aegis of the new Republican Action Committee, which hosted speakers, planned field trips, and worked on election campaigns. The club continued to host prominent politicians, throwing a gala luncheon for Governor Scranton in 1962 and entertaining former Vice President Nixon at an informal party in 1963. Fundraising activities included benefit dinners for Republican organizations at all levels. In 1978, the RWPA sought exemption from federal income tax on the basis of being a social club. Their request for exemption was approved, but as a consequence, they were no longer able to donate to political campaigns. Nonetheless, the group retained a modicum of its political focus. Luncheons with speakers and receptions for politicians and their wives continued.
The Hannah Penn Chapter maintained a variety of subgroups for the diverse interests and talents of its members. While others came and went over the years, the main house committees included the Callowhill Connection, which visited historical places in Philadelphia; Casual Cards, which met for lunch and card games; the Library Committee, which maintained the library of Republican-themed books and held discussions; the Republican Education Committee (formerly the Republican Action Committee), which met for lunch and political education; the Travel Club, which sponsored occasional trips; and Women in Business, which held catered social dinners for “gainfully employed” women in business. Holiday Market Booths were subgroups of the Holiday Market, the RWPA's major annual fundraiser. The Hannah Council was another group, which was also affiliated with the Pennsylvania Council of Republican Women. Finally, the Mailing Committee oversaw all of the Republican Women’s mailing. All but the last two were required to hold annual fundraisers to help support Hannah Penn House.
The Holiday Market was first held at the clubhouse in 1922 with only two tables. One featured hand-made items and the other home-made items. By 1947, the Holiday Market had outgrown the clubhouse, and the event was moved to the Warwick Hotel. At the new venue, a luncheon and fashion show were added to the program. The affair was a great success, and the event required a larger space the next year. The Bellevue-Stratford Hotel hosted the market until the 1976 outbreak of Legionella forced the hotel’s closure. In subsequent years, the market was held at the Valley Forge Hilton, the Fairmont, and several other hotels in and near Philadelphia. The last Holiday Market appears to have been held in the mid-1990s.
American women’s clubs declined sharply in membership in the mid- to late 20th century, and the Republican Women of Pennsylvania followed this pattern. The children’s groups disbanded in the early 1980s. The women of the club were aging, and club attrition accelerated due to retirement, illness, and death. Membership dropped to just over 1,000 by 1981 and less than 300 in the early 1990s. Income dwindled as a consequence, and decisions about the future had to be made. In 1992, the club donated a series of scrapbooks to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and early in the next year, the club sold Hannah Penn House. Space was leased from the Racquet Club of Philadelphia for five years. In 1996, with fewer than 200 members remaining and expenses outstripping income, future planning became urgent. The women foresaw the end of their beloved club and negotiated an arrangement for office space and preservation of their records with the Union League of Philadelphia and the Abraham Lincoln Foundation. The RWPA donated $75,000 to the foundation, and the Union League would provide an office and a suite for their use until the club disbanded. The suite would be called the Hannah Penn Suite in perpetuity. The move to the Union League was made in 1997. In April 2001, sixty-eight members considered dissolution of the club citing lack of interest and participation, no political activities, and the transition to being a social club. Thirty-four voted to remain, twenty voted to dissolve, and fourteen were undecided. In 2004, the Pennsylvania Historical Commission and the Republican Women of Pennsylvania oversaw the erection and dedication of a historical marker for Hannah Callowhill Penn on 2nd Street near Walnut Street. As of September 2008, membership stood at seventy-five. A ledger shows dues payments for only four members in 2013, the last year for which such documents exist.
Scope and content note
This collection contains the records of the Republican Women of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Chapter. Administrative and financial documents form the bulk of the collection. However, the club’s activities are well documented by a large number of scrapbooks and photograph albums.
Series 1, Administrative records (1922-2011) includes organizational records such as the charter, bylaws, meeting minutes, legal papers, event information, and newsletters. Most of the minutes date to the latter part of the 20th century; there are no minutes prior to 1955. There is a small amount of correspondence, mostly from 1974-2011. Membership records date back to the 1940s and consist of applications, membership cards, and directories. The annual Holiday Market is documented by operational papers from the 1980s and booklets spanning over forty years of the event.
Series 2, Financial records (1942-2014) mostly date from 1962 or later. The exception is a couple of savings account passbooks. Documents from the 1960s consist of check stubs and statements only. There are no extant records from the 1970s and only a few from the 1980s. However, a wide range of documents is present from the 1990s and early 2000s including ledgers, reports, statements, bills, payroll, and tax records.

Series 3, Scrapbooks and graphics (1907-1995) includes an extensive run of scrapbooks beginging with the club’s founding in 1920, with the last scrapbook ending in 1990. However, there is a twenty-year interruption in the series from 1934 to 1954. Early scrapbooks contain many newspaper clippings and a few photographs. Later albums contain more photographs in addition to documents. The photographs are mostly in albums and date from the 1960s-1980s. There are a few larger photographs which had been in frames in the Hannah Penn Suite at the Union League. Subjects include Theodore Roosevelt, Charles Dawes, George Wharton Pepper, and club presidents. Artwork in the collection includes signed sketches by Alfred Panepinto of Republican political figures, including Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower and Richard and Pat Nixon.

The ephemera includes election materials from 1964 and 2008, newspaper clippings, Pennsylvania publicity literature, and some Hannah Penn House coasters, matchbooks, and seals. Printed materials include volumes 1-14 of Republican Woman, a magazine issued by the Republican Women of Pennsylvania, and “Campaign Seminars,” issued by the Republican National Committee in 1972.

2. Financial records (1942-2014, undated)Scope and content noteThis series contains the club’s financial records. With the exception of a couple of savings account passbooks, all financial records date from 1962 or later. Documents from the 1960s consist of check stubs and statements only. There are no extant records from the 1970s and only a few from the 1980s. However, a wide range of documents is present from the 1990s and early 2000s including ledgers, reports, statements, bills, payroll, and tax records. Payroll records, including some check stubs, with sensitive information are closed to researchers for 75 years from the date of creation. See the inventory for details on specific items. |

3. Scrapbooks and graphics (1907 - circa 2000, undated)Scope and content noteThis series consists of the graphic materials in the collection. The extensive run of scrapbooks documents the club’s history beginning with its founding in 1920. However, the first scrapbook does include some earlier material. There is a twenty-year gap in the series from 1934 to 1954, and the last scrapbook ends in 1990. Early scrapbooks contain many newspaper clippings and a few photographs. Later albums contain more photographs in addition to documents. Most of the photographs are in albums and date from the 1960s-1980s. There are a few larger photographs which had been in frames in the Hannah Penn Suite at the Union League. Subjects include Theodore Roosevelt, Charles Dawes, George Wharton Pepper, and club presidents. Artwork in the collection includes several signed sketches made by Alfred Panepinto of Republican political figures, including Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower and Richard and Pat Nixon. Two pieces depict Hannah Penn House, one by Frederick Fermor and the other by Herbert Pullinger. There are also portraits of Lilias Lord and two other club presidents. |
