This building stands on the corner of Jefferson Street (State Road 1) and Craig Street in the small town of Ossian, Indiana. It was originally built for Lodge #719 of the Independent Order Of Odd Fellows, a fraternal organization. The gable stone near the top of the building says: "IOOF 719."
In the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, fraternal organizations like the Odd Fellows, Moose, Red Men, and the Freemasons were very popular in the small towns of the Midwest. Most of the small-town lodges of these groups closed long ago, but many of their buildings still stand.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
