The Odd Fellows Temple in Pasadena, California is a historic building that was built in 1933 at 175 N. Los Robles Ave. The temple served as a meeting place for Odd Fellow Lodge No. 324, the Pasadena branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows established in 1885. Pasadena architect Kenneth Gordon designed the building; its design incorporates the Spanish Colonial Revival and Mediterranean Revival styles. The temple is the only Spanish Colonial Revival building in Pasadena which was built for a fraternal organization.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1985.[1]

It is a large building but was nonetheless moved in 1987, after its NRHP listing, to 120 N. El Molino Avenue.[3][4]
