Katy Hamman-Stricker Library
The Katy Hamman-Stricker Women's Heritage Center is located at 404 E. Mitchell Street in Calvert, Texas, USA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/viewform.asp?atlas_num=4200000979&site_name=Katy+Hamman+Stricker+Women%27s+Heritage+Center&class=4200 )〕 It consists of a museum as well as a public library and community center and was the first chapter house built by the American Woman's League in the state. Calvert is located within the Golden Triangle (the area between the cities of Dallas, Houston and Austin) of Texas. The building was constructed in 1909 but its role changed thirty years later when it became the town library. It is designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
==History==
The building housing the library and museum was built by the American Woman's League (AWL) 〔"(The American Woman's League and the American Woman's Republic )". University City Public Library.〕 in 1909. It was the first AWL Chapter House in Texas, and one of the first four in the country.〔Leshner, William. "(Calvert, Town of Opportunities )". ''The Texas Magazine'', p. 70. 1910. (Hosted by Calvert Chamber of Commerce). Accessed February 25, 2010.〕
The American Woman's League (AWL) 〔 was created in 1907 by the magazine publisher E.G. Lewis, as a way to spread women's suffrage as well as gain new salespersons for his magazine business. The aim of the AWL was to promote educational, cultural and business opportunities for women. He planned a network of institutions and businesses to serve women that included correspondence schools, postal libraries, savings banks and institutions to provide for the homeless and for orphans. He provided funding to have chapter houses built in small towns across the United States, each intended to provide a community center for cultural, educational and social events and create employment opportunities for women. Fifty percent of the profit from magazine subscriptions was funnelled back into the AWL.〔Gass, Mary Henderson. "(The American Woman's League )". ''Preservation Issues'', Vol. 5, #2. 1995.

Katy Hamman-Stricker led a movement to erect a League of Woman's meeting house in Calvert, Texas. She was the daughter of Confederate General William H. Hamman who turned his attention after the American Civil War to land and railroad speculation. He stood as a candidate in the race for governor of Texas in 1878 and 1880 under the Greenback Party banner, but lost on both occasions.〔Kubiak, Leonard. "(Calvert History )".〕 Both Stricker and her husband, jeweler Herman L. Stricker, were business, civic and social leaders. They built a two-storey Victorian home at 503 Pin Oak, Calvert in 1900 which became a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1973.〔"(Stricker–Sneed House )". ''THC Atlas''. Texas Historical Commission.
