Odd Fellows Block on Nason Street - ca 1900

The Odd Fellows Building was built in the late 1890's for Julius Loewe who had a pharmacy in one part of the store. There was also a jeweler and a men's clothing store. On the second floor was a hall where several of the local organizations held their meetings, including the lodge of the Odd Fellows who eventually bought the building. It was destroyed by fire in the late 1970's. Seen in this photo beginning on the left: One door of Maynard's first fire station (built 1892), in the smaller building attached to Odd Fellows Block is Connor Cigar Maker, Pipes and Tobacco, in the block is F. U. Rich, M.D.; I.O.O.F. Hall; De Lees Pharmacy; Oliver Watches & Jewelry; E. F. Brown & Co. The location is 42 Nason Street.
