Jacksonville, Oregon building detail

The Improved Order of Red Men are a fraternal organization in the United States. The group focuses on fundraising for charity and bases their rituals on perceived Native American customs.[1][2] The Red Men had a peak membership of over half million in 1920 but that dwindled to around 15,000 by 2011, so there are a number of repurposed former lodges.[3][4] These clubhouse buildings are often called "wigwams" regardless of their architectural style.[5]
