The Highland Park Community House, an historic symbol of the city's cultural and civic life, is just a few steps from the most exciting business district on the North Shore. The Colonial Revival home was designed in 1924 by prominent architect Arthur Brown, to serve as a clubhouse for the Highland Park Woman's Club. In 1994, the building and grounds were donated by the Club to the people of Highland Park for use as a community center.

It is the mission of the Highland Park Community House to provide a volunteer citizen-led, self-sustaining, civic and cultural center that is home for a diverse array of programs, events and functions, both public and private, while preserving our historical building.

The Community House is not supported by tax dollars. It is operated by a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation under the guidance of a volunteer Board of Governors consisting of area residents. Our sources of revenue consist of rental and program fees, contributions and grants.

The Highland Park Community House serves to enrich the lives of the community by providing cultural, educational, recreational and social events.
