Contray to the title of this thread, that would the Temple of Odd Fellows, not Temple of God or Temple of Goodfella's for that matter.

I stand corrected. But maybe the "d" is missing from the facade,

God fellows?

What was the original purpose of the building?

Odd Fellows Hall


From Wikipedia
Several theories aim to explain the meaning of the name "Odd Fellows".
One says that they were called "odd" because in the beginning of Odd Fellowship in the 18th century, at the time of industrialization, it was rather odd to find people who followed noble values such as benevolence, charity and fraternalism.^[12]
