This picture represents how new businesses are taking over old spaces, even those of greater importance or history.

This is the top of the building that was built for a sort of frat, known as the  Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. Membership has always been open to people of any race, though it has remained a predominantly African American Order. In 1979 there were 108,000 members. Today the space is used as office spaces.
