The Odd Fellow Hall located at 7th St. & Market St., 21 years before the Great San Francisco earthquake of 1906. This was not the first Odd Fellow Hall in San Francisco. The original Hall was situated in the Financial District area.

This is a view of the Odd Fellow Hall just one day after the 1906 earthquake. Only a short section of the exterior facade is visible. The interior walls are primarily what remains of this grand structure.What the earthquake did not do to the building was initially destroyed by dynamite, to stop the out of control fire from spreading West and South.

The Odd Fellow Hall was rebuilt at the same location after the earthquake . This is the view of the new building in 1914. Five years after completion and eight years after the 1906 earthquake had devastated one of the most architecturally ornate buildings in San Francisco history.

The Odd Fellow Hall as it looks today at 7th St. & Market St., 95 years after it was rebuilt. Very little has change in the exterior facade except for the ground floor commercial storefronts. All of the building's architectural elements are still intact and unchanged. Currently, we are undergoing major upgrades to the building. Which includes the Life Safety system, which encompasses a fire sprinkler and fire alarm system; electrical and plumbing upgrades; interior painting and in the near future, repair and replacements of the exterior window units. This building has a proud history in San Francisco and the promotion of Odd Fellowship in the world.
