Stop 4: Sons of Norway Lodge – 309 Broadway (Contributing)

[sc_embed_player fileurl=”/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/04-309-Broadway.mp3″]

This is a Classical Revival building with three recessed bays, egg and dart stone trim above the third story, stone sills and sill courses, and an elaborate brick parapet with a center cartouche (French Renaissance motif) in carved stone.

The Sons of Norway fraternal organization was founded in Minneapolis in 1895 by a group of 18 immigrants who wanted to preserve their Norwegian heritage. The movement spread quickly in Minnesota and North Dakota and, in 1905, this lodge was erected in Fargo.
