Historical background
Orient Lodge is an industrial design building constructed in 1908, designed by the little-known Portland architect Francis J. Berndt. It is remarkable that its exterior is almost identical to Voysey House by Charles Voysey that was built 6 years earlier in London. Initially the building was used by the I.O.O.F (Independent Order of Odd Fellows — a non-political and non-sectarian international fraternal order of the Odd Fellowship). In the 1960's it was acquired by Portland Police Athletic Association (PPAA) — its members used it for gatherings and also organized their own bar on the upper floor. The PPAA sold building in 2013 and now it is a contributing resource in the East Portland Grand Avenue Historic District. New owners remodeled the whole building. Special Historic Resource Review was made to ensure new exterior elements are compatible with the building and district to keep architectural integrity. New Loyal Legion pub located inside building proudly serves 99 local Oregon beers.
