EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Elks Building in Auburn, New York State, USA, circa 1908. The symmetrical architecture of this impressive structure, with its grand entrance framed by two sets of ornate columns, transports us back to the early 1900s. The Elks Building, a prominent feature on the city's streetscape, was home to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE), a fraternal organization known for its charitable work and community involvement. The pavement in front of the building is bustling with activity, as people go about their daily business. Shops line the street, each with its unique offerings. A piano shop, with its large, ornate sign, catches the eye, while a fishing tackle shop, with its array of colorful lures and rods, beckons to anglers. The Elks Building itself is adorned with intricate details, including the elk antlers that grace the top of the facade. These antlers are a symbol of the Elks organization, which was founded in 1868 and named after the elk, the largest species of deer in North America. The elk is a powerful and majestic animal, and its presence on the building serves as a reminder of the strength and power of the Elks organization and its commitment to protecting and serving its members and the community. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and charm of Auburn, New York State, and the United States in the early 1900s. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the bustling city street and to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of this historic building.
