I.O.O.F. Temple
Lebanon Lodge No. 15 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows was
dedicated to the "Purposes of benevolence and charity" and became one of
the most prominent I.O.O.F. lodges in Ohio. The original building was a
two story structure erected in 1846 by the Methodist Protestant Church.
By 1887 Lebanon Odd Fellows Lodge No. 15 added a third story and a tower
to the building with commercial stores on the first floor. The I.O.O.F.
Temple was erected in the High Victorian Gothic style and has always
been the tallest building in Lebanon. In 1989, the Duning family
purchased the building and remodeled the top two floors into apartments. |
