Star Lodge #1, AF & AM, and Queen of the Valley Lodge #1558, Independent Order of the Odd Fellows (IOOF), purchased the building in 1885. The Odd Fellows sold their share of the building to Star Lodge in June 1927. Star Lodge #1 still owns the building, which has been named a Charles Town Historic Landmark.
