Since its construction in 1950 as a social hall, this property has been an integral component of the retail and commercial activity which made 9th Avenue S.E. East Calgary's high street, and one of Calgary's historic principle commercial thoroughfares. Originally designed as a place of 'fundraising and fellowship', St. George's Odd Fellows Lodge Hall possesses value as a social hall which served two East Calgary local orders for over four decades. The current owner has maintained the original character with its smooth stucco exterior and minimal decoration. The building is a good local example of the Art Moderne style. Stucco detailing such as the vertical buttresses and the corner piers which project above the roofline reflect the building's original purpose. The architectural character makes it an important contributor to 9th Avenue's historical and highly intact streetscape. The building contributes to the historical status of 9th Avenue, Calgary's first main street. Although dating from 1950, the building serves to recall the historical significance of 9th Avenue. And offers a new owner a wide variety of uses.
