Balmain, Oddfellows Hall
The former Oddfellows Hall and shop is located on the corner of Darling Street and Jane Street, in the inner west suburb of Balmain. It was built in 1864 for the the Loyal Balmain Lodge of the Manchester Unity Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a friendly society who owned and used the building from its construction until 1975. It now houses a hairdresser.
Heisann.... I will present our town´s old Oddfellows hall when I have taken a picture of it! A very nice building, indeed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting theme...
I didn´t see this building when I visited Sidney.... Have a nice week!
Interesting architecture. I know we have branches of that here, though I can't recall locations off hand.
ReplyDeleteCool, my hairdresser is in that building! There's also an Oddfellows hall further down Darling Street, near the wharf.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, OohLookBel. I'll keep an eye out for it next time.

ReplyDeleteI'd heard of Odd Fellows before. Not sure exactly what they are, but I believe I may have married one.

Good one, Sue. :) I'd never heard of the Odd Fellows before researching this.
DeleteWhat great architecture, it is very interesting, kind of looks Moroccan to me.
