The Odd Fellows Hall in Monticello, Iowa was built in 1871. It is a narrow, 20feet by 65feet Italianate commercial building.[1]
It was built for the Monticello Lodge No. 117 of the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), that had been organized on March 16, 1858. The Odd Fellows group grew to a peak membership of 121 members, and at one point had an associated German-language lodge, William Tell #391 with 25 members, but the organization declined and was defunct by the 1920s.[1]
It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. According to the 1985 nomination, it was the best-preserved Italianate, late 19th century, commercial building in Monticello.[1]
