Diamond Springs
The I.O.O.F. Hall
The I.O.O.F. Hall was built in 1852 on a
foundation of brick with
corners of dressed rhyolite tuff. Diamond Springs
Lodge No. 9 was the
first lodge instituted in El Dorado county, and
one of the first in the
state. The Odd Fellows still use their “fine
commodious hall in the
two-story frame building on the hill, visible far
away.” It remains in
excellent condition and looks much as it did when
it was first
constructed, if you ignore the air
conditioner.
