Here is a picture of the IOOF lodge in Central City. This shot is from 2006 midway through a paint job my company did.
Written in the book "Mining Gold to Mining Wallets, Central City 1859-1999" by Allan Granruth c1999
Teller Block(Long Branch Casino)

Henry Teller built this after the fire of 1874 at a cost of $6,000. Two stores opened on the 1st floor - a book store and a shoe store. The second floor was leased to the International Order of Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows bought the building in 1878 and it owned until gaming came to Central City. The Building was renovated and turned into casino space and opened in 1991 as the "Long Branch Casino" with 79 gaming devices.

Also note that the IOOF bought the tin cornice piece and had it installed shortly after they bought the building. Yes that entire top cornice piece is made from tin as are the details above the windows and 1st floor. Eric
