SE 32nd there is a street sign there on the left
IOOF Independent Order of Odd Fellows. They still have a building there.
The cross street sign reads SE 32nd Ave, I believe.

Is that the IOOF property across the street from Kenilworth park?
guessing that since the street sign says 32nd it may be at 32nd?
Thelarge building on the right says IOOF Home. Someone should know where that was.
It is The Odd Fellows Retirement Home. Still standing at Holgate and SE 33rd.
.
Could it be right around 32nd Ave, right across from Kenilworth Park? The street sign in the left appears to read “SE 32nd Ave” and the building across the street says “I.O.O.F.” which I think stands for Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The retirement home that stands at the spot today is owned by the Odd Fellows and it resembles the building in the picture, or at least the entrance does.
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (“IOOF” – note the banner on the large building in the photo) has a large presence on SE Holgate at 32nd – 33rd. That original building at 32nd is in a photo in this story: https://pamplinmedia.com/sb/75-features/244022-111308-odd-fellows-of-portland-a-heritage-of-caring
Looks like the Odd Fellows Holgate Center in its early iteration: https://holgatecenter.org/about-us/ which has a current address of 3320 SE Holgate Blvd
Could this be part of The Odd Fellows Home that is on 31st and Holgate?
Odd fellows home there across from the school.
The sign on the right says SE Holdgate Blvd. This is the view today https://goo.gl/maps/uvE84mMEfrK5Bd4m7
Here’s the view looking east from a little further west in 1934
Building on right is Odd Fellows/Old Folks Home on @30th SE Holgate. Kenilworth park is across the street. Grout School at intersection.
The buildings on the right are the Odd Fellows Home at 32nd Ave across from Kenilworth Park. The main building to the far right was apartments for seniors retirement, and the more distant building was originally an orphanage and later also was apartments for seniors.
Second building more distant and towards center of photo was originally an orphanage, then also used as senior apartments.
The 1934 IOOF building survives today, but with a rebuilt of the top floor, most of the porch stripped off, and a wing added on the east end of the building.
The street sign in the photo says 32nd st….so Holgate and 32nd…
I’ve always wondered why Holgate turns to get around the north end of this property. Was the Odd Fellows hall there before Holgate?
Thorn: I backed your photo down to 2904 Se Holgate, which shows it like the present photo of Holgate approaching the curve by Kenilworth school.
The street sign seems to indicate that it is at SE 32nd and Holgate.
The house in the photo further west looking east is still there and looking good, well kept and built well…
SE 32nd as indicated by sign post
i like the IOOF building ! ITS GREATE
the street sing post is cool looking is it cast concrete ?
