Here we are in Ossining at the corner of Main Street and State Street, where we see the old Ossining Elks Lodge as it sits, decrepit and abandoned. As far as I know, the building has been empty since around 2005. We start with the outside, looking at the nice blue paint that adorns this nice Victorian style building. We then walk up the steps and take note of the BPOE 1486 tiles on the front stoop. From there, we enter the building. On the first floor, we see one of the side rooms, the bar lounge, which has been completely obliterated with broken mirrors and a chopped up bar. We then walk into the old dance hall and notice the old wall tablets while trying to avoid the wood floor, which has become severely buckled. The last thing we see on the first floor is the kitchen area. We then move upstairs and see where the officers used to stay or do work. The final place we go to is the attic, which has been badly covered with fecal matter from different animals, and festooned with different furniture pieces and papers on the floor. What was once a proud fraternal club is now nothing but ruins. Apparently, the building was slated to be demolished about 2 years ago, but that project has stalled. Enjoy the sight of the beauty of an old, grand place, and how it has been transformed into a heap of nothing (you can enjoy that a bit less....).
