History

The Elks Club Building is a three-story International Style commercial block built in 1949, designed by Tyler architect Carl A. Gregory (1903-1976) and constructed by local contractor Hugh E. White. The local Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks used its upper floors for offices, a dining room, and a ballroom while leasing the first-floor retail space until the club sold the building in 1973. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
