[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982,[1] and it currently serves as the Evansville office of the Jackson Kelly law firm.

[citation needed] The building was designed by Evansville architect Harry Boyle and was constructed in 1912 for a local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

Originally made up of those engaged in one way or another in the performing arts, the Eagles grew and claimed credit for establishing the Mother's Day holiday in the United States as well as the impetus for Social Security.

In March 1992 the Eagles Home building was sold to National City Bank at a sheriff's sale after foreclosing on $400,000 in loans made to former officials of Lockyear.

The original college building was razed in 1993 to make way for a 41-space courtyard parking lot, but the Eagles Home remained standing.
