The Odd Fellows Building went up in Cambridge in 1885, a Richardsonian Romanesque design by local architect George F. Loring. It was one of a run of commissions Loring picked up in the neighborhood during the 1880s, including the Stickney Building and Masonic Apartments three years later.

the style

Richardsonian Romanesque (c. 1870–1900): Muscular rough-cut stone, huge low round arches on stubby columns, and round corner towers.

the architect

George F. Loring worked out of Cambridge in the 1880s and kept returning to the same neighborhood for work, designing this building in 1885 and the nearby Stickney Building and Masonic Apartments in 1888, both in the Richardsonian Romanesque manner.
