Powell Ohio October 2009

Powell Ohio

Look at the building on the Powell History page...

It is 5. S. Liberty Roadm Powell Ohio 43065.

The building on the southwest corner of Liberty Road and Powell Roads?

Have you ever noticed IOOF on the top?

Independent Order of Odd Fellows?

International Order of Odd Felllows?

I found both "Independent" and "International" as descriptions of what the I in IOOF stands for on the internet. A fraternal organization?

Look at the photo on the " Historic" page of the City of Powell website (link above.) You really can see the letters in the photo from long ago. There were lots of people, in the historic photo too.

I don't believe there are any Odd Fellows in Central Ohio now... I believe Springfield Ohio has a live chapter....

The building today. Maca Cafe. Tapas anyone?

5 S. Liberty Road Columbus Ohio 43065

The photo here is the building in 2007... well the original photo was taken in 2007, the photo was "ghosted up" for October 2009....

At the top do you see the four sections... when you drive by next time look up there... maybe it would be better if someone else was driving... or get out of your car and walk around Powell and look at the top of that historic building.

I O O F - Odd Fellows....

Odd who is that fellow out front?

Powell Ohio says of Powell today:

"We embrace our humble roots and take pride in maintaining a quaint, homespun downtown that is alive and thriving with excitement and activity. We have preserved the ambiance of a historic village lined with beautiful sidewalks, which are perfectly suited for leisurely strolls to distinctive shops and casual restaurants. We paired that small-town atmosphere with all the modern-day conveniences and amenities of a prosperous city that offers upscale dining, specialty shops and services, and family-friendly special events."
