The Odd Fellows building at 108 East Kirkwood was originally built in 1913 as the home of a restaurant called the Henry and Kerr Block. In 1929 the Odd Fellows moved into the building.

Built in the arts-and-crafts style, the building has glazed brick on the facade instead of the more customary limestone and is on the National Historic Register of buildings.

In 2007, local developer Elliot Lewis renovated the building into a restaurant and upscale apartments, and small retailers Athena and Material Plane, who leased space in the building, had to move. In April of that year, the trustees of Cecelia Lodge #166 I.O.O.F. sold the building to the Upland Development Group of Bloomington for one million dollars. (1)
