Independent Order of Odd Fellows

From Lane Co Oregon

The Springfield Lodge No. 70 of the I.O.O.F. was chartered in 1881 with five founding members. The lodge hall was erected at the corner of A and Mill Streets (Walling 1884:453). The building later housed the fire department, jail and council chamber (Graham 1978b:3). The original hall was replaced in the early 20th century by the present I.O.O.F building.
