Cedar Falls Independent Order of Odd Fellows Temple

The Cedar Falls Independent Order of Odd Fellows Temple, built between 1901 and 1902, is a historic building located in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Known for its unique fraternal-commercial architecture, this 3.5-story structure highlights the significant role of the Odd Fellows in local social history, particularly in providing life insurance for members' families. The building showcases the craftsmanship of contractor James E. Robinson and reflects the design influences of late 19th and early 20th-century revival styles.
