Hardman IOOF Lodge Hall

[2] The two-story structure has a stone foundation, a wooden frame, a false front extending above the roof line, and Italianate details.

A major alteration in 1946 added a one-story dining room and kitchen to the south side of the original building.

In addition to the add-on dining room and kitchen, the property includes a woodshed and an outhouse, neither of which remains functional.

Merchants rented space on the first floor for a general store and other businesses, the last of which closed in 1968.

Like other fraternal and sororal secret societies of the time, the Hardman Odd Fellows and Rebekahs formed committees to help needy neighbors in an era before widespread social services were available from the government.
