Built as an Elk’s Lodge in 1927 & listed on the register of historic places, 1527 Otto Boulevard retains its original façade of red brick and ornamental glazed terra cotta crowned by an elk’s head sculpture presented in bas relief. Inside, exposed beams span the gallery and balcony levels. Original skylights and floor to ceiling arched windows flood the third floor studios with light.
