There is a shallow hip roof behind a corbelled ornamental parapet. The main entrance is centered under a small bracketed gabled rch roof above the double stair with flights against the facade. There is also a basement entrance centered under the main. Two pairs of one over one windows flank the entrance at each level. There is a centered Masonic plaque at the second floor level. The south elevation is five bays with a second entrance in the far right bay. The windows on this facade are single units. The north side has four bays corresponding with the south facade.

History |
The building was constructed in 1924. The Elks lodge purchased this property and met in an earlier building which burned in 1924. The Elks constructed the current building in that year; it does not appear on the Sanborn atlas of 1918 but does appear on the Franklin Survey atlas of 1930. The Masonic lodge purchased the building in the 1940s and have owned it since that time; the property was in the process of being sold at the time of the survey in 2015. |
