Reita,
The building you are asking about was a huge building made of brown stone. It was, during the 1940's and 1950's the home of the Loyal Order of the Moose. Or the Moose Club. That is how they were legally able to gamble and serve alcohol. It was a private club.
In about the 70's or 80's the Moose Club sold the building, and for a few years it was the Cobblestone Restaurant. Getting it's name from the stones used to build it. In probably the mid 80's the restaurant closed and the building just rotted down. There are some small business buildings on the location now, but no trace of the old building. It was on Highway 11 South about a half mile south of the Highway 49 overpass at the Cloverleaf Mall, on the left going south. The Mormon Temple is about 100 yards south of the old location of the Moose building.
