Virtual Tour of Grand Lodge

The Elks National Memorial and Headquarters Building has been a Chicago landmark since its dedication on July 14, 1926. The online photographs can only suggest the beauty and grandeur of this awe-inspiring structure, designed by New York architect Egerton Swarthout, and considered by many experts to be the finest of its kind in the world. Sculptures are by three of the greatest artists of their day, Adolph A. Weinman, James Earle Fraser and Fraser’s wife, Laura Gardin Fraser. The allegorical murals are by Edwin H. Blashfield and Eugene Savage.
