Elks Lodge No. 1353 was constructed from 1920-1922 by the prominent architectural firm of Garbutt, Weidner and Sweeney during the 1920s oil boom in Casper. It is a two-story brick building with distinct horizontal divisions utilizing pronounced terra cotta belt courses. The building elements are representative of the Second Renaissance Revival architectural style. On March 17, 1922, the Casper Elks celebrated the opening of the new lodge building with an initiation of a large class, installation of officers, a business program, entertainment, and a midnight dinner. In May the Elks held a minstrel show in their new home in the 900-seat auditorium. According to early descriptions, the interior of the building originally consisted of a banquet room in the basement with adjoining serving rooms, dish closets and kitchens. A dumb waiter connected the downstairs serving rooms with a lunch room on the first floor. The basement also contained janitors quarters, locker rooms, shower rooms and a gymnasium. The main entrance on the first floor led into a vestibule of marble and ''caen'' stone with terrazzo floors. From there a large lobby and corridors led into the first floor rooms including a billiard room, lounge, ladies' dining and lunch room, dining room and card room for men, and secretary's office. The building is architecturally significant as an outstanding example of Second Renaissance Revival architecture and as the work of a master architect, Arthur M. Garbutt.
