Österbotten's Hall in Negaunee, Michigan.

The "Österbotten's Hall" in Negaunee, Michigan was built by the "Temperance Society Österbotten". The sewing society "Stjärnan av Österbotten" raised most of the money, and the members of the Temperance Society made the construction work. The Temperance Society and the aid society "Myran" joined in 1920 and formed the "Runeberg Lodge" #3 with 119 members. The Hall was sold in 1963 and the lodge dissolved some years later.
