The Independent Order of Odd Fellows Block was at 220½ S Main. The first appearance I found in the CDs is 1898. The Covenant Mutual Life Association (upstairs window on the right) is also listed at the same address in 1898. Julius Wolter's diamonds, watches and jewelry is listed in the 1894 CD, but at 122 S Main. Here's the IOOF Hall on the 1910 Baist map, in between the Dresden and Santa Vibiana's Cathedral.

The building can also be seen on the right of this picture of Saint Vibiana's Cathedral (Saint Mary's Church). USC date this image as circa 1922-1935 - there's only one car, so does the clothing narrow it down?

It looks like the old IOOF building had been remodeled and repainted by the time this circa 1960/1970 picture was taken.
