The Elks Club had this building constructed in 1919 as Lodge #288. The first floor served as commercial space, the second and third floors as the lodge and the fourth floor as residences while the basement was a pool hall and bowling hall. A grand staircase was constructed for access to the basement from a once prominent South entrance. Many parties and balls were held in the grand ballroom. Following the relocation of the Elks Club in the 1960's, the building continued its commercial character at the street level, while the upper floors converted into 23 apartments. With renovations of the exterior in 2006-2007, the Brown Building has been restored closely to its original character. The interior apartments were reappointed in 2006, providing additional market-level accommodations in downtown Pendleton. The building is the only architectural example of the Chicago School Revival Style in Pendleton. Notice the faux clock above the North entrance of the building.
