At 225 South Main Street in the state and federal records · working in 2025
The aerie: The Fraternal Order of Eagles keeps its Mishawaka aerie at 225 South Main Street — Aerie No. 2083, a few doors south of where the Moose hall stood in 1921, on the same lodge-row street. The address is documented in two record classes: the federal exempt-organization records carry the aerie at 225 South Main, and an Indiana Department of Homeland Security facility permit names "Fraternal Order of Eagles 2083" at the same address — a building permit record, printed at that strength, its permit since expired. The aerie's charter year has not been reached in any record searched; the date that rides with the federal record, 1991, is the order's group-ruling artifact and not a founding, and is not printed as one. The Grand Aerie's charter roll is the settling source.
The working present: The aerie stands in the present record as a working club: a regional club tournament listing of February 2025 names the Mishawaka Eagles as its host club, with members playing under the club's name. That is the closing line the record supports — an aerie at its South Main address, active in 2025 — and no more is claimed for it here.
