The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE; also often known as the Elks Lodge or simply The Elks) is an American fraternal order founded in 1868, originally as a social club in New York City. It has more than 750,000+ members at 1,928 lodges. The fraternity currently focuses on Community, Friendship, and Charity.
Membership increased rapidly and by 1909, the Elks were in need of a larger meeting space and decided to build their own building.

Bonds were issued to lodge members only and fund-raising began in the form minstrel shows put on by the Elks. [4]
