Harrisburg Odd Fellows Hall

The Harrisburg Odd Fellows Hall in the small community of Harrisburg, Oregon, also known as I.O.O.F. Covenant Lodge No. 12, was built in 1882.  Odd Fellows chapter members L. Stites, a local brickmason and brickyard owner, and John Martin, a carpenter, significantly helped in its construction.  The Harrisburg Disseminator then declared it to be "'the finest building in this part of the Willamette Valley'".

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 for its architecture, which is Italianate.  It served historically as a meeting hall, as a theater, and as a specialty store.

It is a prominent historic building in Harrisbury's old commercial center, and, as of 1992, it had a completely intact lodge hall in the front  of its second floor.  It is a two-story  by  brick building that is mostly intact, with exception of its missing cornice.  The lodge hall includes plaster walls, coved cornice, door and window trim, tongue-and-grove wainscot, and "bases and crested arched backing daises at opposite ends of the hall".
