Physical Description
General Note
Founded in 1891, Lodge 221 is the oldest Elks lodge in Florida and has occupied this building continuously since 1926. The architecture reflects the Mediterranean Revival style that was popular in the 1920's. Highlighted by an ornate cast-concrete entrance on the first floor facade with a recessed arcaded gallery above it, the facade of the Elks Club Building contributes a pleasant texture to the ambiance of Laura Street [at Adams]. This is the third Elks lodge on this site. The first was destroyed by the 1901 Fire, and the second was razed in 1925 before construction of the present building.
