1917 I.O.O.F. Lodge 345, The lodge was rebuilt after the block was partially burned after a fire in 1913. You can see a garage on the corner. The gas pump is just on the other side of the car. A barbershop is two doors down.

The Yorktown Mt. Pleasant Historical Alliance and Museum occupies the space below the I.O.O.F. in downtown Yorktown. (2021) We want to thank the I.O.O.F for their generous support of the Alliance and Museum.

The stated purpose of the I.O.O.F. is: to improve and elevate the character of mankind by promoting the principles of friendship, love, truth, faith, hope, charity and universal justice.

Yorktown Railroad Depot

At one time passenger trains came through Yorktown four times a day. The Interurban street cars came even more frequently but those tracks ran down the middle of Smith St. and did not leave from this depot. You could ride to most major cities from Yorktown. The man standing in front of the depot is Charles Mann.
