Elks Lodge No 1283 McMinnville Oregon - Elks Lodges on Waymarking.com

Lodge 1283 in McMinnville is located in downtown just off of Second St. The front of the building sports an elks head mounted above the entrance and an Eleventh Hour clock just behind.

The first Elks Lodge opened its doors in New York in 1871.

The 11th hour is significant in respects to a ritual toast to absent members and their memories.

The first stanza of one of these toast read like this:

Eleventh Hour Toast You have listened to the tolling of the eleventh chime,
A reminder our pleasures should cease for a time
In order that those who have finished their score,
May all be brought to mind once more

Physical Address: 333 NE Evans St McMinnville, OR USA 97128-4623
