The St. Paul Women's City Club building is a historic place in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It was built in 1931 and has a cool, modern look for its time. This style is known as Art Deco and Streamline Moderne, which means it features smooth lines and a sleek design.
The building was made from limestone from Mankato, Minnesota. A talented architect named Magnus Jemne (1882-1964) designed it. The club wanted a place where its 1000 members and their guests could meet. It was a "center for organized work and for social and intellectual intercourse." This means it was a place for women to work together, learn, and socialize.
The club building had many useful spaces. There was a dining room, rooms for meetings, and even bedrooms. In 1972, the building was sold to the Minnesota Museum of American Art. Today, an architectural firm uses the building. It is an important part of history and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
