Rome Elks Lodge No. 96, also known as the Benjamin Leonard House, is a historic Elk's lodge located at Rome in Oneida County, New York. It consists of an asymmetrical, early Italianate style brick main section (c. 1848), with a large rectangular rear addition (1932), and a sun porch and projecting Classical Revival style portico (1926). The portico features two Doric order fluted columns. It was originally built as a dwelling, but rehabilitated in 1926 for use as an Elk's Lodge.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
