Odd Fellows Building

Odd Fellows Building, Bank Street, New London, Conn.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is a fraternal organization that in 1921 had 101 lodges in Connecticut, including nine in New London County. Among the Odd Fellows area properties is a retirement home, Groton's Fairview, which still operates today (although Odd Fellows membership is no longer required for admission). This postcard depicts an Odd Fellows property on Bank Street in New London.
