Coldwater Lodge #1023
The building which was built in 1864 as a Spiritualist Church at a cost of $28,000, was purchased by the Elks for $7,000 in 1908 and it has an interesting history. The three story brick building is of Roman Revival design and at the time it was built the front entrance was flanked by impressive twin towers. The church changed its name several time in the next few years; Independant Congregational, Hope Chapel, and finally in 1868, the Unitarian Church. It was later owned and occupied by Fred and Marietta (Cutter) Smith both prominant names in Coldwater history.
Coldwater is known as the City of Flags and flies flags on all street poles at every holiday and summer weekends. With this in mind the Lodge is quite proud to be flying the largest flag, 12'x18', in the county from a 50 foot pole, the tallest free standing in Branch County.
