Centreville Lodge No. 37 began in June 1875, with Francis Green, Joseph Pyle, George W. Ely, Dr. Joseph H. Chandler, and William Carpenter as the original officers. Lodge members first met at Todd's Inn, but after just six months they voted to buy the "Dixon Lot" for $400 and build a lodge hall/town meeting building.
Stock was sold to members and other residents to cover the $5,000 construction cost, and the building was completed in 1876. By 1929, the lodge was able to buy back all the stock of Centreville Hall Company, using money raised by conducting summer carnivals. Members later modernized the hall, installing steam heat, modern lavatories, electricity and a kitchen. The lodge purchased the double house next door in the 1940s and tore down wooden sheds that had protected horses during 19th century meetings.
Lodge meetings were originally held on Saturday nights, often preceded by a covered-dish supper. Members and their families first enjoyed a meal with friends, then the men of the lodge met on the third floor, while wives and children shopped at Dalton's general store downstairs.
Centreville has traditionally been an active lodge, with many of its members employed by surrounding estates. Membership today is smaller, but Odd Fellows continue to meet each month, as they have for 126 years.
The Centreville Lodge hall now contains the Wild Thyme flower and gift shop on the first floor with meetings and activities on the second and third floors.
