The Meeker I.O.O.F. Lodge-Valentine Lodge No. 47, at 400 Main St. in Meeker, Colorado, was built in 1896.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]

It is a two-story brick building, one of the first such in Meeker, with a one-story section at its rear. The front part was used as a commercial space and other purposes on the first floor, lodge space for the Odd Fellows local group on the second floor; the rear was available as a community room where dances were sometimes held.[2]

It has also been known as Rooney's Hall and as the Star Theatre.[2]

In 2004 the building was purchased by the Mountain Valley Bank, which was renovating it for use as a bank branch.[2]
