Terry,

I'm not sure where I got this information, but it may be a good place to start.

For information about The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, write to:

Grand United Order of Odd Fellows
12th & Spruce Sts.
Philadelphia, PA 19107
215-735-8774

Incidentally; the home was on the corner of Ogontz and chelten ave, not cheltenham ave. I just passed there on a recent trip and the original brick building is still there; other buildings have been added since and of course it's no longer a home, but you can still see the "Odd Fellows Home" chiseled into the facade.
