H. Curson for Woodland Lodge No. 111.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is significant for its long role in Woodland's social and architectural history. It headquartered the Odd Fellows, whose membership included many of the area's prominent people. It appears to have been the first major Woodland building in the Mission style, marking a departure from the Victorian architecture that had dominated Main Street.","narrative":"Rising three stories on Main Street in Woodland, this brick and frame building was erected in 1905 as a lodge hall with stores, a business college and social rooms. Woodland Lodge No. 111 of the Odd Fellows contracted W. H. Curson to build it for $36,532. Its Mission style, with an arcade, three towers and simulated red tile roofs, broke from the Victorian buildings that then lined Main Street and appears to be the first major Mission-style building in the city. The ground floor held shops and offices, including the telephone company and the county school superintendent. The second floor offered two social halls, a kitchen and lounge rooms that served as a center of town and county social life, while the third floor held two domed lodge rooms. The lodge had 207 members in 1905, including many of Yolo County's prominent families. The exterior remains essentially unchanged, and lodge meetings continue upstairs.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Builder: W. H.
