TY - GEN N2 - Elks Home/Club at 100 SE 1st St., formerly 400-8 Upper 1st St. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks built this building 1904-1906. A hotel had previously been at this location, but after it was razed, another nearby hotel owner offered the Elks some funding to build on this spot and thus eliminate the competition from another hotel. Over the years, membership dwindled, and in 1974, the Upstage Dinner Theatre took over this facility. An arson fire destroyed it in 1977, and it was razed.
