Fraternal Order of Eagles

Detail of terracotta work, Eagles Auditorium Building, Seattle, Washington, now Kreielsheimer Place, home to ACT (A Contemporary Theater), with two stages and a cabaret (also 44 apartments). Also known as Eagles Temple and as the Senator Hotel, the elaborately terracotta-covered building (designed by the Henry Bittman firm) is on the National Register of Historic Places, ID #83003338. The building was the Aerie No. 1 of the Fraternal Order of Eagles (which was founded in Seattle); it was for many years a major concert venue; and it was where Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke November 10, 1961 on his only visit to Seattle.

Fraternal Order of Eagles (F.O.E.) is a fraternal organization that was founded on February 6, 1898, in Seattle, Washington, by a group of six theater-owners including John Cort (the first president), brothers John W. and Tim J. Considine, Harry (H.L.) Leavitt (who later joined the Loyal Order of Moose), Mose Goldsmith and Arthur Williams. Originally made up of those engaged in one way or another in the performing arts, the Eagles grew and claimed credit for establishing the Mother's Day holiday in the United States as well as the "impetus for Social Security" in the United States. Their lodges are known as "aeries". (From Wikipedia)
