This building stands at 5-9 Church Street in Alfred, a short distance from the business section. Built about 1880, in the Green Revival style with a tile roof and of wood frame construction with interlocking joints, it was acquired in 1920 by the Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church from Dr. Emerson Ayars. It is named for Eva St. Clair Champlin, a champion of the early women’s rights movement, who left a legacy to establish a club house for the women of Alfred. The Champlin Civic Betterment Corporation was formed in 1922 and now administers this property as a community house. Open to the public, the first floor includes rest rooms, meeting rooms, and an apartment for the caretaker. There are three bedrooms upstairs and a small garage with a tile roof at the rear.
