Founding site for this residency. Constructed as an Odd Fellows Lodge in the 1890s, this unaltered building provides a 2,400 square-foot third-floor artist studio in the original Encampment Hall, a 600 square-foot writing studio in the Encampment Hall’s Anteroom, and a 2,400 square-foot second-floor artist studio in a former meeting hall. The studios and domestic space are furnished with period pieces and artist-made works produced in the first-floor wood shop that define the monastic approach of 100 West.
Since 2012, this site has been preserved and developed into 100 West by founder and director Kyle Hobratschk, who maintains a studio practice in the wood shop while hosting residents upstairs.
