This building is on the National Historic Registry. The plaque states that the building is identified as the "Oddfellows" building.
Apparently, 1840's or so - a group of odd fellows came to occupy the building upper chambers in common agreement that they were perhaps "odd-fellows". Reactionaries? The first neo conservatives? We'll try to find out.
This had to be a humorous group; convening as it were in the Odd-fellows building - the very "odd fellows" them selves. I wonder if they kept minutes of their meetings?
The top floor has a dance floor; the ground floor is McKusker's wine market connected to a lovely food market next door. There's no super markets in Shelbourne Falls.
