I.O.O.F. Block
| Dates: | 1872-1875/2003 |
| Location: | Northeast corner Walnut and Jackson Streets, Muncie, Indiana |
The cornerstone of the Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) Block was laid on June 8, 1872, and the building was dedicated on October 28, 1875. During the 1960s the building was completely covered in aluminum siding. When this siding was torn off in 2000, the original facade, windows, and historic storefronts were found largely intact. It was renovated in 2003 and now houses Kirk's Bike Shop on the ground floor with apartments above.
