Description ODD FELLOWS HALL

Odd Fellows Hall in 1880 was only four years old and had no neighbors on Hollis Street. Signs on the side of the building read: "J. A. Higgins, Hardware, Paints & Oils;" "Sprague & Williams, Groceries, Flour & Grain; " "E. A. Holbrook, Boys, Girls', Ladies Goods." On the front of the building, signs identify a "Cash Store" and a "Shoe Store."

By 1980, the building had been remodeled (1928) and flanked by the Eames Building (Clough's Pharmacy) and the Trowbridge Block (Elm Furniture). The mansard roof and ornate trim had been removed, giving the building a more contemporary appearance.
