History

In 1925, the house was purchased by the Handicraft Club and till this day is a private club offering lessons in crafts, cooking and French and Italian conversation. The first floor of the house is now used for meetings and the basement and second floors have been converted to classrooms and the carriage house is both a classroom and a lunchroom for club members.

In 1941, the house was awarded a certificate by the Department of the Interior stating that it is a historic building "possessing exceptional historic or architectural interest and worthy of most careful preservation for the benefit of later generations."
