| Woodmen Hall, probably in December 1913 |
Woodmen Hall, at 102 N Main and Ohio, on the northeast corner of the center of town, was built in 1905. Those involved in its construction include SA Wilson and his brother Joseph. A clipping from the Fountain Museum, possibly from a promotional flyer dated 1906, states that the Gore Mercantile Company was owned by CA Gore and Henry Link. Gore was the manager, assisted by John Redmond. The building was built by the local lodge at a cost of $8000.

The building has a main room downstairs that has been used as a store for the past 100-plus years. The hall upstairs was used by civic groups, and to show movies in the 1940s and 50s, though on occasion a movie was projected on the outside wall of the building during the heat of the summer, and people sat in the adjacent lot to the north.
