The Elks Lodge is a historic clubhouse at 500 Mena Street in Mena, Arkansas. It is a two story brick building, with a hip roof, marble trim, and a granite foundation. Its Colonial Revival styling includes corner quoining, porches along the front and side with square supporting posts and diamond-pattern balcony balustrade above. It was built in 1908 by the local chapter of the Elks fraternal organization, and has long been a local social venue. Between 1935 and 1951 it housed the local hospital, after which it returned to the Elks. It is also one of the community's finest examples of commercial Colonial Revival architecture.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
