English: Built in 1889, this Romanesque Revival-style building was constructed as the Hotel Wildey and a hall for the local branch of the fraternal International Order of Odd Fellows, as well as retail space at street level. The building features a brick facade with a decorative parapet featuring blind arches, recessed square panels, corbels, stone caps, and banded stone trim, pilasters on the second and third floors, tall arched window openings on the third floor with decorative stone and brick trim surrounds, including one displaying the name of the IOOF hall that built the building, an oxeye window in the parapet on the building’s chamfered corner with a rusticated stone ring surround, a tower behind the corner of the parapet, which once featured a now-removed hipped roof, decorative rusticated stone lintels and sills on the second floor, a rusticated stone base, and rusticated stone pediments above doorways on the first floor with a checkerboard lay pattern, as well as a mural featuring a donut umbrella on the side facade. The building served the local IOOF and as a hotel well into the 20th Century, but has since seen the upper floors partially vacated, with the first floor being home to a salon and beauty parlor business in one of the retail spaces, and the Ideal Bakery in the corner retail space. The first floor has been heavily altered with the addition of an EIFS facade with smaller windows, obscuring what remains of the original retail storefronts and original first floor facade treatment.
