In 1924, Southside Lodge began construction on a multi-purpose building located at 1301 West Magnolia. The building housed a meeting hall as well as commercial and office space (rented to help pay for the upkeep on the building). The three-story Classical Revival building was designed by James B. Davies, Sr. One of its first tenants was a funeral home.

In 1977, Southside Lodge moved to a new location.[3] and the building on Magnolia has since been used solely as an office building. The building was renovated in 1986 and renamed the Magnolia Centre. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
