The Tackawanbait Lodge, named after Natick's only Native American ordained minister, who continued John Eliot's mission to the 'Praying Indians,' was housed on the top floors of this building. It represents the history of the Odd Fellows in Natick, originally instituted in 1845 and lasting through to modern times. The elegantly detailed brick and brownstone structure forms a significant landmark on the edge of the Town Common and contributes to Natick's 19th-century character.
