Odd Fellow Temple, Lebanon, OH - Odd Fellow Lodges on Waymarking.com

This building started off life as a church, later expanding into the building as you see it. The building was remodeled into an apartment building, with office space and garage on the ground floor.

The building was sold off. There still is another IOOF group that occupy a smaller lodge building across town; see nearby waymarks for additional information.

When the building was taken over by the lodge, the city paid them to build a tower and install the clock, with an additional amount paid yearly for its upkeep.
