Similar New York Times account, mentions Carrie Crittendon Calhoun as president. books.google.com/books?id=KqMTAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA201&a... AKA Mrs. Clarence Crittenden Calhoun, aka Cornelia D.B.

Daisy had decided to harness what her husband had dubbed “dynamic woman power.” She founded the Woman’s National Foundation, and chief among its bylaws was the promise to educate women in their civil rights and duties as citizens, by giving and receiving instruction in history, civics and statescraft and all other branches helpful to good citizenship . . . She raised funds from wealthy donors, in 1921 purchased 10 acres of prime land at Connecticut and Florida avenues NW for $80,000. Known as the Dean estate, the property included a mansion that became the foundation’s headquarters and was the setting for a hectic schedule of civics lessons, socials and inspirational pageants." I don't see any record of this archtitect's proposal being built.

Really great portrait work, it radiates a force of character. Certainly, Rockwell Kent was a personality to be reckoned with.
