The ca. 1900 IOOF Hall building replaced the 1868 Bischosberger Hotel and Restaurant on this site. The IOOF met upstairs here for years. More recently it's been the home of Baxter Drugs.

An Historic Marker by the entrance tells us that in 1900, the previous property on this site was razed. The present brick building was constructed that year and was used as the Baxter Springs Post Office until 1911. The International Order of Odd Fellows Lodge held their meetings upstairs.

Cool retro style sign.
