Who Are the Elks?

Elks Lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course or pool. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up.

New Home of Fargo, N. D., Lodge Will be Completed Soon
The new Home of Fargo, N. D., Lodge No. 260 is going ahead rapidly and will be occupied by the members in a few months. From its basement to the roof-garden nothing is being left undone to make it one of the finest Homes in the Northwest. The basement will contain a spacious and finely equipped gymnasium, showers, locker rooms, hand-bail courts and bowling alleys. On the first floor will be the grand lounge, billiard room, library, Secretary's office, ladies' parlor, restaurant, grill and kitchen. On the second floor will be located the Lodge room and ballroom, together with committee rooms, band-room, candidates room and lounge. Lastly, but by no means least, is the roof-garden, which will be the principal summer feature of the new Home. This will be the first roof-garden ever constructed in the city, and there is no doubt but it will be one of the most popular innovations of the new Home. Under the heading, "A Community service,” the Fargo Forum, the leading newspaper of the city, recently published the following editorial regarding the new Home of the Lodge: “The announcement of officers of Fargo Lodge No. 260, B.P.O. Elks, that, after the new building is completed in the fall, the assembly hall on the second floor will be turned over to all organizations of a civic nature, other than political, for convention use free of charge as a civic center, is a mighty fine contribution for the Elks to make to the people of Fargo. There is no doubt but that many civic organizations will avail themselves of this generous offer. The Elks have recognized an opportunity for rendering a very real community service. They are to be congratulated upon their action.”
