This white building, a former Odd Fellow Hall, is located at 1310 S. Main. It is on the west side of Main, between 13th and 14th Ave., just north of Emmanuel Baptist Church.
According to a listing on Trulia, it is a multi-family dwelling that is 1,260 sq. ft. on a 1.5 acre lot.
It was constructed approximately 1940.
A wheelchair ramp extends from the sidewalk to the front door, and next to that are a short flight of stairs that lead to the front porch as well. The porch has a rain roof, a horizontal cover over the front entrance.
Some brief information about Odd Fellows, from wiki:
The Odd Fellows are one of the earliest and oldest fraternal societies, but their early history is obscure and largely undocumented. Due to increased trade during the Middle Ages, guilds came to make up a part of the urban culture, grouping people from a number of trades banded together. Hence, people of an odd assortment of trades speculatively brought the background of the early history of Odd Fellows.
When the English King Henry VIII broke with the Roman Catholic Church, the guilds were viewed by him as supporting the Pope, and in 1545 he confiscated all material property of the guilds. Queen Elizabeth I took from the guilds the responsibility for training apprentices, and by the end of her reign, most guilds had been suppressed.
