Elks Lodge No. 99, Curlett & Beelman, Architects 1923-24

Built for the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.), this Neo-Gothic Shrine is notable for the massive sculptures adorning the corners of each wing and the upper central sections of the structure. The interiors, which were decorated by Anthony Heinsbergen must have made quite an impression on guests of the Elks Lodge during their heyday in the 20's, as they retain their grand opulence. The Grand Ballroom and Entrance Hall are especially noteworthy.
