202 W. Oak - Two fraternal organizations, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) and the Woodmen of the World (WOW), built this three-story structure in 1914. Later, it was the Gordon Hotel, the Southland Hotel, the Elks Club, and finally apartments. This image was photographed in 1918 before the commercial building at the southwest corner of Oak Street and Monroe Avenue was constructed. It is one of four historic postcards reproduced by the Historical Society.
