"The Rockford Elk's Lodge was built as a meeting space and social hall for
the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) Lodge number 64 in 1912.
The building, designed by Chicago architect Lawrence Buck, exhibits Classical
Revival styling with a strong Prairie Style influence. The social
club is located in an area known as Rockford's Cultural Corridor, a stretch of
central business district rich with museums, music and art venues. The
wide variety of architectural styles found in the immediate area is reflective
of evolution of commercial architecture in downtown Rockford in the early
twentieth century. The Rockford Elk's Lodge is an important piece of that
evolution." -
