The former Elks Lodge (B.P.O. E. #54) is a historic building in Lima, Ohio, United States. [1] It was built in 1909 for use by a local Elks group. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 7, 1982.
In 1886, the B.P.O.E. #54 was the 54th group of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks to be chartered. [2] [3] It is located in Lima, Ohio within the Ohio West Central District No. 7120. [4] The group built this lodge building in 1909 at 138 West North Street. [1] Around the time of its construction in the early twentieth century, oil and railroading had taken Lima's economy to an extremely prosperous point. [5] The Elks Lodge building was funded by contributions from members. [6]
The Elks Lodge #54 is now located at 302 West North Street in Lima. [7] The group sold the 139 West North Street building, which, as of 2019, is used by Tabernacle Baptist Church. [1]
Hulsken & McLaughlin, a Lima architectural firm, designed the Elks Lodge in the Prairie School style. [5] The lodge building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 7, 1982. [1] It was one of seventeen Lima buildings listed on the register as a group, the "Lima Multiple Resource Area." Of these buildings, it was one of the newest. [5]
