Elks National Home, Historic retirement home in Bedford, United States.
The Elks National Home spans 100 acres and includes twenty-three buildings, three sites, one structure, and two objects in Colonial Revival style.
The facility began in 1903 in Hotel Bedford, then relocated to a new complex built between 1914 and 1916 by Chicago architects Ottenheimer, Stern, and Reichert.
Former circus artist Tom Sidonia created interior murals throughout the Administration Building, adding artistic elements to this retirement community.
The retirement facility continues operations as English Meadows Elks Home since 2013, managed by New River Assisted Living for elderly residents.
Nine residents died in November 1923 after consuming contaminated apple cider served in the dining room of the facility.
