When the Greensboro Woman’s Club purchased the house in 1921, the kitchen was updated and the center hall walls in the front section of the house were removed to make a large meeting room. In 1961, the porch was enclosed to expand the meeting room again, and the original front door with sidelights was moved outwards - it still serves as the front door today. Now, after almost 100 years, the Weir-Jordan House continues to be home to the Greensboro Woman’s Club and numerous other civic organizations.

Part of Historic Greensboro since 1846
The Weir-Jordan House, though rooted in the past, has been brought into the present with comfortable amenities, without altering the classic elements of the house.
In 2000, the home was opened for rental purposes at a nominal cost, which pays for the upkeep of the facility and allows many to see and appreciate its beauty. It has most of the original moulding trim and wood floors. Other floors, such as in the main reception area, have new carpet. The entire downstairs has been recently repainted, and both bathrooms downstairs have been upgraded. The beautiful windows have the original lead glass, and there are large bay windows on the north and south sides of the home.
In 2009, we received a grant of $10,000 which allowed us to renovate several of the rooms upstairs. In doing this, we were able to preserve the historical character of the home while balancing modern conveniences. These rooms allow us to provide additional meeting space and room flexibility for facility rental.
