"In 1902, The Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks purchased the Hotel Bedford in a bankruptcy sale. The Elks National Home was dedicated May 21, 1903 with over 5,000 Elks from around the Country in attendance. In the beginning, the Home was established for "indigent" Elks and they were supported by their subordinate lodges and the Grand Lodge.

Their subordinate lodges are not responsible for any charges. " Story continues here
