Remarks: The first floor was occupied by W.F. Kitt’s Dry Goods Store. The entire front of the building is to be glass, something new in Tucson, and the show windows are to be the latest pattern, extending to the ground.

The upper stair was to be used by the Odd Fellows. The will be a large lodge room beside a good sized banquet room. The architects have planned for an abundance of property rooms, twelve in all.

Ground broke on September 27, 1901

In 1919 the Odd Fellow moved to 135 S. Sixth Ave.
