The Billy Webb Elks Lodge is a modest, shingle-sided building located at 6 North Tillamook Street in Portland. The structure, as part of a project of the Portland YWCA, was competed in 1926 and replaced a temporary structure that since 1921 had housed the YWCA’s first effort to reach out to Portland’s small African American community. The lodge marks the first listing to occur under the umbrella MPD(Multiple Property Document.) The lodge was named after Billy Webb, a musician that led a African American Elks band that played in Portland in the 1920s.
