Marker Text Designed by noted east Texas architect Cornelius Granville Lancaster as a crown jewel of Marshall’s shopping district, the 1903 Elks Building served as the headquarters for lodge 683 of the Benevolent Paternal Order of Elks. Lodge 683 organized on April 19, 1901, at Newman Hall in downtown Marshall. Soon, a building committee was established and C.G. Lancaster was chosen as architect with the Moose Brothers as the builders. Organization activities such as meetings and events were held here until 1953 when the Elks Lodge moved to Austin and Alamo Streets. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark – 2017
