The first Danbury lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows was established in 1842. The fraternal order later erected the building at 18-20 West Street in Danbury as Odd Fellows Hall. Built in 1911, the stuccoed building was designed by Danbury architect Philip Sunderland. It is now home to the Ecuadorian Civic Center of Greater Danbury.

To the left of the former Odd Fellows Hall is a long Georgian Revival commercial building, erected in 1937 at 2-16 West Street.
