Cough? Sore throat? Earache? Stomach pain? There was a doctor right here in the center of town. But where, exactly? If you know, send your answer to editor@harvardpress.com. If you don’t know, look for the answer in next week’s Press.

Thanks to Harvard Historical Society genealogist Susan Lee for finding the following additional information about the Odd Fellows in the archives of the Harvard Historical Society. The Odd Fellows building was featured in the Nov. 13 “Signs of Old Times” column.

According to an account written by Arthur H. Turner in 1939, Harvard Lodge Independent Order of Odd Fellows No. 60 continued to occupy the top floor of a building at the corner of Bromfield Street and Still River Road. When the Union Hall building was moved around the corner and a new store erected on its site by Gale and Dickson in 1902, the lodge again occupied the third floor of the building. By 1939 membership had fallen off because of the lure of other organizations, but members of the lodge looked forward to the celebration of the 100th anniversary in 1945.
