The Silver City Woman's Club, located at 411 Silver Heights Boulevard in Silver City, New Mexico, is a Pueblo Revival clubhouse completed in 1935–36 and designed by architect Richard Tatsch. Built by the women's organization that had been active since 1909, the building reflects the region's architectural heritage through its revival style. The clubhouse functioned as a dual-purpose space: it hosted community welfare activities such as food distribution to needy families and state child welfare inspections, while also providing intimate settings for members' self-improvement courses in music and literature. Since its construction, the club has continuously occupied the building for its meetings and has made it available for broader community gatherings and large events. Originally a Works Progress Administration project, the clubhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 alongside two other contemporary women's club buildings in New Mexico.
