Purpose built as a lodge & dance hall with rentable commercial space for the Fraternal Order of Eagles in 1934, the building is Nanaimo's earliest and one of the most striking examples of Art Deco style architecture. The exterior features stylized geometric ornamentation rendered in cast concrete including the eagle sculpture over the front entry. Much of the interior is also intact, including Art Deco light fixtures, the staircase, balustrade and the original wooden dance floor.

Designed by Vancouver architects McCarter & Nairne, best known for the Vancouver`s Marine Building and the Georgia Medical-Dental Building.
