The I.O.O.F. Hall, in Garnavillo, Iowa, also known as Garnavillo Lodge Hall, is a two-story building built in 1860. It served as a clubhouse for International Order of Odd Fellows and then later for Masons. [2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. [1]

In 1979 it was assessed to be historically significant as a "very nice example" of Greek Revival architecture, which is relatively rare in Iowa, and as a "very early" fraternal hall that was well-preserved. [2] :3
