Odd Fellows Hall (Alexandria, Virginia)
- Odd Fellows Hall (Alexandria, Virginia)
-
African-American orders like the black Odd Fellows allowed blacks to socialize and put their skills to good use. In 1870, black builder and politician George Seaton was hired to build the Odd Fellows meeting hall in Alexandria, Virginia. For decades the building was used to house the group and many of the social gatherings of the African-American community. In the 1980s the building was converted into condominiums. It is a three story brick building with decorative detailing and a slate mansard roof. The hall is located at 411 South Columbus Street and is currently a residential building.
