The Odd Fellows Building headquartered an order which was an important part of the community's history, and included in its membership many of the area's most prominent individuals.

The building is a notable example of its type and period and appears to have been the first major building in Woodland designed in the Mission style of architecture. It marked an important departure from the Victorian architecture which dominated Main Street in Woodland until this building was erected around the turn of the century.

The Odd Fellows Building contributes to the Downtown Woodland Historic District.

Many of these are now on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places....
