The Red Men Hall, listed as the Redmen's Hall, is a historic structure that houses a fraternal organization near the coast in the San Pedro community of Los Angeles, California.
Initially built as a library in 1915, the hall is a two-story American Craftsman style structure located on a hillside overlooking the Port of Los Angeles. The interior contains local wood paneling and exposed ceiling beams. The City designated the hall as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM #751) in 2003.
A local lodge of the Improved Order of Red Men, a fraternal organization which draws on customs assumed to be used by Native Americans, has occupied the building for nearly all of its existence.[2] [3] Sequoia Tribe No. 140 remains active in their "San Pedro Wigwam" although the national organization has dwindled in membership.
