Rockford Elk's Lodge No. 64

In 1908, Phillip Smith appointed a committee to examine the possibility of constructing a permanent home for the organization.

In February of the next year, the lodge purchased the lot at the corner of North Main and Peach (now Jefferson) Streets.

An addition was built in 1929 to house a swimming pool, gymnasium, dining room, and bachelor quarters.

It sat vacant for fourteen years, when it was donated to The Abilities Center, Goodwill Industries.

On September 5, 2007, the building was also listed as a contributing property to the West Downtown Rockford Historic District.
