Retrieved 2012-03-14〕 Among the events that took place in the hall: 1892 annual dinner of the Tremont House Waiters’ Association.〔Henry Voigt, a 21st-century collector of menus, describes the 1892 waiters' dinner: “The waiters at Tremont House catered to upper-class white society. These waiters knew how it was done. So they weren’t like blacksmiths getting together. ... These guys were doing it for themselves in style. They didn’t have a lot of money, but they knew how to throw a party.” Quoted in: Jeanne Schinto. "A Taste for Menus: Henry Voigt Touches History." Gastronomica: The Journal of Food and Culture, Vol. 5, No. 4 (Fall 2005)〕 In January 1932 fire destroyed the building.〔(Annual Report of the Fire Dept. and Wire Division of the City of Boston ), 1932〕 ==Images== Image:Odd Fellows' Hall, Boston, from Robert N.
