[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 1420259, member: 3371"] One of the stained glass windows has the image of an OKC businessman named Classen, the same as the name of the office building and Classen avenue. He must have donated millions. Most of the money came from bonds they sold during the 30's to raise money for completions and furnishing of the building. Stateline on OETA had a special about the Masons, Oddfellows, and Knights of Columbus. Guys used to join back in the 30's 40's and 50's cause there wasn't any tv or other diversions and it was something for the guys to do. The last few decades membership has waned but picked up just slightly the last few years as the younger guys join because they like the tradition of belonging to something older than them. [/QUOTE]
