"The former Odd Fellows Lodge Building - Work started in 1911 on the Odd Fellows Lodge structure. The design of noted Arts and Crafts architect Ward Wellington Ward transformed the existing foundation on the site into a striking temple for the lodge. The earliest of Baldwinsville's fraternal societies, Mohegan Lodge was chartered in 1845. The IOOF (Intetnational Order of Odd Fellows) symbol is prominently displayed above the center second story window. The first floor was rented for commercial use. At one time there was a shoe business on the north side and a restaurant (Taylor's) on the south side. The columned doorway topped by an iron balustrade opened to the broad staircase leading to the upper floors that were reserved for the lodge. The ballroom has a 22-foot domed ceiling. The building has been restored to its original condition. It was renovated in the 1990s for use as a restaurant. Today it is the Mohegan Manor which serves as a restaurant, banquet, reception, wedding and meeting facility ... Located at 58 Oswego Street in Baldwinsville, NY. "

"Ward presented his ideas to his clients in very attractive pen and watercolor sketches. These architectural renderings and perspectives are drawn with great skill and command attention in their own right as works of art. Ward had a virtuoso talent for producing these studies quickly and in great numbers."
