The I.O.O.F. is a fraternal order that focuses on providing charitable services and support to those in need.The I.O.O.F. Orphans Home in Mason City was established in 1893 as a home for orphaned or abandoned children. It aimed to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children who had lost their parents or were unable to be cared for by their families.The facility offered housing, education, and other essential services to the children under its care. It provided not only for their basic needs but also for their emotional and educational well-being. The goal was to give the children a stable upbringing and an opportunity to thrive despite their unfortunate circumstances.The I.O.O.F. Orphans Home in Mason City became an integral part of the community, with the local residents actively supporting and contributing to its mission. Over the years, the facility expanded its infrastructure and services to accommodate more children and provide them with a better quality of life.As time passed, changes in societal norms and the development of alternative support systems led to a decline in the need for orphanages. Consequently, many I.O.O.F. orphanages, including the one in Mason City, gradually phased out their operations.The Mason City facility closed its doors in the late 1970s, ending its long history of providing care for orphaned children. The property was later repurposed for different uses, and today, it no longer functions as an orphanage.The I.O.O.F.
