Benevolent And Protective Order Of Elks, Lodge Number 878
82-10 Queens Boulevard, Queens. Built 1923-24; architect, The Ballinger Company.
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge Number 878, located in Elmhurst, Queens, was built in 1923-24 to the designs of the architectural firm, the Ballinger Company. The neoclassical style building is modeled on the Italian Renaissance palazzo type and is clad in brick, limestone, and granite. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is a fraternal organization founded in New York in 1868 by a group of professional entertainers and actors.
The structure, which contains a series of recreational and social spaces, was considered one of the largest and best-equipped fraternal homes in the country, and one of Queen’s most handsome buildings at the time of its completion. The building was prominently featured in an article about the design of fraternal buildings that appeared in the Architectural Forum in 1926. The freestanding building is distinguished by a full-width front terrace, an ornate entryway, carved keystones with lions’ heads, festooned panels, and a prominent cornice.
A large bronze statue of an elk, based on the prototype statue designed for the club by the noted sculptor, Eli Harvey, is located on the front terrace. The lodge, one of most prominent buildings in Elmhurst and along Queens Boulevard, remains remarkably intact.
Development of Elmhurst and Queens Boulevard
At the time of the consolidation of Greater New York in 1898, only the three western townships of Queens County voted to become part of New York City: Jamaica, Rushing, and Newtown. Newtown, which bordered the East River and lay closest to Manhattan, was settled by the Dutch in 1640 and incorporated in 1652. B
y 1790, its population hovered around 2,000. It remained mainly an agricultural community through the mid-nineteenth century, producing vegetables and fruits for the growing urban markets in Long Island City, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. By 1850, Newtown’s population had increased to approximately 7,000.
Growth in Newtown continued in the late-nineteenth century, spurred on by the extension of railroads and street railways throughout Queens County. Real estate developers, hoping to capitalize on Newtown’s proximity to Manhattan and Brooklyn, began buying tracts of farmland on the outskirts of the village.
Large-scale development began in 1896, when the Cord Meyer Development Company, one of Queens’ major homebuilders, began operating in Newtown. Hoping to disassociate its housing development from nearby, foul-smelling Newtown Creek, Cord Meyer Development convinced the post office to rename the town Elmhurst for its large number of stately elm trees. By 1910, the company had completed thousands of houses in the community. Additional development was stimulated by improvements in transportation during the 1910s and 20s, which included the construction of another Long Island Railroad station, the enhancement of trolley service, new elevated train service above Roosevelt Avenue, and the opening of Queens Boulevard.
After the Queensborough Bridge was completed in 1909, new approach roads were needed to accommodate increasing traffic flowing into the rapidly-developing borough. The construction of Queens Boulevard, an eight-mile-long, two-hundred-foot wide arterial highway leading from the bridge to the heart of the borough, began in 1910.3 The new boulevard was completed by 1924, for the most part.4 In order to accommodate the wide new road, many buildings along its route were either moved or demolished, and opportunities for new development were created. The segment of Queens Boulevard through Elmhurst was completed in 1923, the same year that construction of the Elks Lodge began.
Growth continued in the 1930s with the opening of the Independent Subway line in Elmhurst with stops along Queens Boulevard, encouraging denser suburban development in the form of six-story apartment houses and long rows of adjoining houses, as well as additional commercial and industrial development.
Demographic changes followed the Second World War as Elmhurst evolved from an almost exclusively middle-class suburban community with a large Jewish and Italian population to one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the city. By the 1980s, immigrants from 112 countries had settled in Elmhurst, including people from China, Colombia, Korea, India, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Pakistan, Peru, and Guyana.5 Development also continued, including the borough’s first enclosed shopping mall, which opened in 1973. In addition to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge Number 878, Elmhurst*s other designated New York City Landmarks are the Reformed Dutch Church of Newtown , the Remsen Cemetery , and the Edward E. Sanford House .
