"Odd Fellows" Hall
The members of the Enterprise Lodge, L.O.O.F, began builiding this building in the spring of 1897. The ground floor was opened as the "H.B. Whitman" store. The building was far enough along so that Whitmans started moving their stock of goods into the building in November of 1899. The store sold everything from dry goods, to hardware, to trucks, to furnishings. They also sold fresh groveries and glassware.'

The Odd Fellows Lodge opened the upstairs in the summer of 1899. The upper floor was used as a lodge room, banquet hall and offices for the L.O.O.F. The estimated cost of the new building in 1897 was $8,00. As the new building opened, the Montpelier Examiner in its March 31, 1897 edition stated that "this will be the largest and handsomest building in the city."" (visit link)
