1772 Grant Recipient: Chamberlin House

The Woman’s Club of Concord is one of sixteen grantees in 2023 for funds through The 1772 Foundation for work on the Chamberlin House

The Woman’s Club of Concord will use this $9,000 grant toward a stand-alone slate roof repair project at their National Register-listed Queen Anne property. This much needed work was prioritized after a roof leak was identified and temporarily repaired in the spring of 2022. The funding will help match an LCHIP grant for roof work, complementing other rehabilitation efforts that have been systematically completed since 2014. The building hosts a range of meetings and functions and provides transitional housing for three women, thus supporting the club’s mission of service to the women of the community. 

“Preserving the character of Chamberlin House—the 1886 Queen Anne style home of the Woman’s Club of Concord—has been our mission since 1919 when we became its steward. This grant allows us to complete the much-needed slate roof rehabilitation project as well as to preserve the beauty of Chamberlin House to provide meeting space and safe housing for the women in transition who call it home.”  Woman’s Club of Concord Board
