The Eagles Building is a building in Lorain, Ohio as the home for the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aeries #343.[2] The chapter was founded in 1903, disbanded in the 1980s, and was reinstated in 2023.[3][4][5]
Built in 1918, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1][6] The building was constructed in the Renaissance Revival style with a terra cotta symmetrical facade, with Roman arches and Corinthian pilasters.[7] It was built with a concrete frame due to a steel shortage during World War I.[8] The building survived the 1924 Lorain Tornado.[9]
