This is what the Wellsville Elks Lodge looked like before the ball room/reception hall was added on. Think this picture, from the Bucky Moore collection, was taken in the early 1950s.
Don't know the history on this house but what is now the Wellsville Elks was originally built as a private residence on Riverside. Maybe someone can fill us in on more details. Believe it was built in the late 1800s.

Nib,
I was a kid when my dad helped add the addition on to the Elks, so that would have been in the late 60s/early 70s. I was always told that the original Elks house was owned by a doctor, and that he actually saw patients there in his doctor's office. Rumor has it that one or some of the patients actually passed away there, and that at least one ghost haunts the upstairs and stairway in the Elks. You should ask my dad about the history -- he'll know. And I'm sure he'll laugh at the stories about ghosts!
