Publisher's Synopsis
A fascinating glimpse into the dedication of the Odd Fellows Temple in Philadelphia on May 21, 1895. This souvenir commemorates the grand occasion, offering insights into the architecture, social significance, and the fraternal order of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF). The IOOF, a non-political and non-sectarian fraternal order, aimed to provide a framework for individuals to contribute to personal and social development. This volume offers a snapshot of Philadelphia's social and architectural landscape at the close of the 19th century. A valuable resource for historians, architectural enthusiasts, and those interested in fraternal organizations, the "Souvenir Commemorating the Dedication of the Odd Fellows Temple" captures a moment in time and highlights the enduring legacy of community and fellowship.
