Designed by the architecture firm Asmus and Clark in 1925, the Classical Revival-style building was created for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Housing the Odd Fellows as well as over one hundred doctors offices, the four story concrete building was notable for the Greek Ionic order columns along the west side of the building, and the Ionic pilasters on the south side. Also known as the Medical Arts Building, it was purchased by the Free and Accepted Masons in 1937. As of 2019, the inside featured original marble floors and a marble stairwell, along with portraits of former Grand Masters, which include President Andrew Jackson (1767-1845).
