The third floor is notably tall, suggesting a lodge hall, and indeed old Pa Pitt confirmed his suspicion by looking at the Sanborn map from 1908, which marks this building as the I.O.O.F (International Order of Odd Fellows) Block, with a bank on the ground floor and a lodge on the third. Later the Odd Fellows moved to a newer lodge on Walnut Street, now South Sharpsville Avenue.

    This impressive Art Deco block, built in about 1930, is all the more impressive for its location, right on the Shenango River at the western end of the State Street bridge.
