Heart of A Town: Main Street in Paris

Built in 1901 for the Elks Lodge B.P.O.E. 373, the lodge used the third and fourth stories for their club rooms and leased the first two floors for offices and retail space. The Freemasons bought the building in 1926. By the 1940s the Bourbon Hotel moved from its location on 2nd and Main Street and occupied most of the building.
