Description
This
photograph
shows
the
Independent
Order
of
Odd
Fellows
(I.O.O.F.)
State
Home
on
East
McCreight
Avenue
in
Springfield
,
Ohio
.
One
of
Springfield's
many
nicknames
was the "
Home
City
"
due
to the
many
fraternal
and
state
homes
located
in
Springfield
(the
Ohio
Masonic
Home
,
Independent
Order
of
Odd
Fellows
Home
,
Knights
of
Pythias
Home
,
Oesterlen
Orphans
Home
, and
Clark
Memorial
Home
were
all
located
there)
. The
I.O.O.F
.
Home
was
dedicated
on
October
27
,
1898
by
chairman
of the
board
P
.
M
.
Cartmell
,
who
stated
that the
order
had
elected
to "
nurse
the
sick
,
bury
the
dead
,
educate
the
orphan
, and
care
for the
widow.
" The
home
was
originally
supported
by
member
donations
and by
farming
on the
grounds
at
404
East
McCreight
Avenue
and at
another
farm
on
Blee
Road
. The
focus
of the
institution
changed
more
than
once
over
the
years
to
meet
the
social
needs
of the
times
.
Originally
housing
both
adults
and
children
in
need
, the
home
eventually
became
an
orphan's
home
and, in the
1920s
,
housed
about
200
children
. By the
end
of the
twentieth
century
it
became
a
home
for the
aged
and
new
retirement
apartments
were
constructed
on the
property
in
2000
. This
photograph
is
from
