Located at 61 Sheldon Street SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Ladies' Literary Club (also known as the Wednesday Literary Club) is a Richardsonian Romanesque clubhouse built as a gathering space for the city's literary-minded women. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, the building exemplifies the robust stone and arched forms characteristic of the style. Today it operates as a cultural hub, currently owned by a private investment firm and operated by The Penny Loafer, LLC, while also serving as home to "The Lit Grand Rapids," a nonprofit organization that hosts community and mission-aligned groups.
