In 1924, Southside Lodge began construction on a multi-purpose building located at 1301 West Magnolia. The building housed a meeting hall as well as commercial and office space (rented to help pay for the upkeep on the building). The three-story Classical Revival building was designed by James B. Davies, Sr. One of its first tenants was a funeral home.
In 1977, Southside Lodge moved to a new location.[3] and the building on Magnolia has since been used solely as an office building. The building was renovated in 1986 and renamed the Magnolia Centre.[citation needed] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
