This I.O.O.F. hall features the traditional 'tall and thin' architecture often found in Odd Fellows Hall. However, this structure is in urgent need of care. It looks as if some renovation was begun, but then halted.
Location Details:
"The two-story building was constructed as a meeting hall by the Odd Fellows in 1900. Beginning in 1918, movies were shown in the first floor space, and the building served as the social and entertainment center for the surrounding area into the early 1930s. The hall is an excellent example of the use of pressed metal as cladding for a wood frame structure. Side walls are clad in a coursed stone pattern, and facade components include engaged columns, stylized floral motifs, and a projecting cornice with a fleur de lis and swag motif."
