Description

Photos show the Odd Fellows Building, also known as Flanley's Block, located at 349-353 Main Street at the corner of Avon Street. The brick building was built circa 1895-1898 in the Renaissance revival style. Wakefield furniture dealer John Flanley originally built the structure, but it was taken over by the Odd Fellows fraternal organization in 1918. On January 24, 1997, the building was gutted by a major fire, believed to have started in a second floor office. The structure was subsequently restored and renovated for office space by the adjacent Wakefield Savings Bank. Photos taken September 24-25, 2007.;Detailed entry in building survey, "The cultural resources of Wakefield", pD65.;The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
