Odd Fellows Home District, Historic district and former fraternal home in Liberty, Missouri.
The Odd Fellows Home District in Liberty, Missouri, comprises three contributing buildings: the Administration Building, the Old Folks Building (1907–1908), and the Old Hospital (1923), plus a contributing site and four structures, built in Tudor Revival and Jacobethan Revival styles. The historic Odd Fellows Home Cemetery is also on the property.
The original grounds were destroyed by fire in 1900, prompting the lodge to build new fireproof structures in its place. The complex grew gradually between 1900 and 1935 as different expansions and buildings were added over time.
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a fraternal lodge, ran the home as an institution for its aged and needy members. The Administration Building, Old Folks Building (1907–1908) and Old Hospital (1923) each had a separate role, and the Odd Fellows Home Cemetery on the grounds holds the graves of residents.
The buildings and grounds are visible from outside and offer views of the entire site layout. The cemetery is part of the complex and helps you understand the community that lived and worked here.
The Travel Channel show Destination Fear filmed at the Odd Fellows Home for the sixth episode of its third season, drawn by its reputation as a haunted site. The district also holds the Odd Fellows Home Cemetery, a contributing site within the 1987 National Register listing.
