When the gold mining town of Big Oak Flat burned in 1863, only two buildings survived: the Gamble Building and the Odd Fellows Hall.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) is an altruistic fraternal organization
derived from the similar English Oddfellows service organizations which came into being
during the 1700s....Although in Britain the Odd Fellows tended to meet in pubs, in the U.S.
the lodges often built their own facilities. Many of these are now on the U.S. National
Register of Historic Places....
