Update: The building has been demolished.

I took a look at the old Moose Lodge on State Street this last weekend when I was over at GCADD in Granite City.

It’s an impressive building, and like many fraternal organizations, it looks like it might have had storefront space on the first floor with the meeting rooms on the second or third floors.

There was an old church in the building at one point; note the cool Tuscan cast iron column which opens up the corner to pedestrians.
