The Brinckerhoff Carriage House was constructed circa 1910 and served as an outbuilding at the estate of Elbert A. Brinckerhoff, Englewood’s first mayor (the estate was demolished several decades ago).  The building was later used as a music conservatory until 1936 when it was purchased by the Woman’s Club of Englewood (WCE), a non-profit organization founded in 1895.  The WCE held their first meeting at the Carriage House in 1937.  The WCE uses the building as their meeting space but also offers it as rental space for weddings, parties, lectures and other events.  

The Trust grant will help fund the preparation of a Preservation Plan and a National Register nomination.
