Building History

The Los Angeles architecture firm of Morgan, Walls and Clements designed this IOOF Lodge in 1924 at a cost of $385,000. It occupied the northeast corner of the intersection at Washington Boulevard and Oak Street. The architects designed at least four more lodges for the IOOF in Southern CA.

Building Notes

Gebhard and Winter, An Architectural Guide to Los Angeles, (Salt Lake City, Gibbs-Smith, 2003), p. 283, called this more of a "Spanish Renaissance" design rather than Spanish Churrigueresque (Baroque).
